Solving Systems of Equations with Three Variables

The video tutorial covers solving a system of three equations using the elimination method, solving a word problem involving investments with different interest rates, and calculating the cost of apples and bananas using algebraic equations. Each section provides a detailed step-by-step approach to solving these problems, emphasizing the use of algebraic techniques to find solutions.

What is the first step in solving a system of three equations?

• Divide all equations by the same number.

• Subtract one equation from another.

• Choose two equations and add them to eliminate one variable.

• Multiply all equations by the same number.

After eliminating the variable y from the first two equations, what is the resulting equation?

• 4x + 3z = 13

• 3x + 2z = 6

• 5x + 3z = 14

• 2x + 3z = 7
