Okay, so given these three equations, are there any, i can automatically add or subtract a cancel variable? well, i can add or subtract equation one and equation two to cancel z.
00:11
That'll give me 3x plus 3y.
00:15
Z's cancel equals 9.
00:18
And then i could divide each term by 3.
00:21
That'll be x plus y equals 3.
00:24
Awesome.
00:25
And then i want to cancel z in the third equation.
00:30
Well in order to do that i need to multiply the first equation by three which will be 3x plus 12 y minus 3 z equals 18 plus the third equation which is 3x plus 2y plus 3 z equals 16 when i add these together i'll get 6x plus 14 y z will cancel equals 4 to 134.
01:03
And i can divide by two to each term to simplify from here.
01:08
So this will be 3x plus 7y equal 17.
01:15
Now what i'm going to do, i have a system of two equations here.
01:19
In order to cancel a variable, i'm going to try to cancel x.
01:22
I'm going to multiply this equation by negative 3.
01:25
Negative 3x minus 3y equals negative 9 and rewrite this equation down here.
01:32
3x plus 7y equals 17...
