Respuesta :
equation 1 : x + y + z = 3.25
equation 2 : 12x + 2y + z = 9.50
equation 3 : 2x + 4y + 5z = ??
u would multiply equation 1 by -12.....take that result and add it to equation 2....this eliminates x.
u would multiply equation 3 by -6...take that result and add it to equation 2....this eliminates x

Answer:
Multiply the first equation by -2 and the third equation by -6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine the first and second equations to eliminate x.
Multiply the first equation by -2:
-12x-12y-12z=-39
Add this to the second equation:
(-12x-12y-12z)+(12x+2y+z)=-39+9.5
-10y-11z= -29.5
10y+11z=29.5
Combine the second and third equations to eliminate x:
Multiply the third equation by -6:
-12x-24y-30z=-84
(12x-24y-30z)+(12x+2y+z)= -84+9.5
-22y-29z=-74.5
22y+29z= 74.5
