11.2E: Systems of Linear Equations with Three Variables (Exercises)

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

For the following exercises, solve the system of three equations using substitution or addition.

11.

0.5 x-0.5 y=10

-0.2 y+0.2 x=4
0.1 x+0.1 z=2

12.

5 x+3 y-z=5

3 x-2 y+4 z=13
4 x+3 y+5 z=22

13.

x+y+z=1

2 x+2 y+2 z=1
3 x+3 y=2

14.

2 x-3 y+z=-1

x+y+z=-4
4 x+2 y-3 z=33

15.

3 x+2 y-z=-10

x-y+2 z=7
-x+3 y+z=-2

16.

3 x+4 z=-11

x-2 y=5
4 y-z=-10

17.

2 x-3 y+z=0

2 x+4 y-3 z=0
6 x-2 y-z=0

18.

6 x-4 y-2 z=2

3 x+2 y-5 z=4
6 y-7 z=5

For the following exercises, write a system of equations to solve each problem. Solve the system of equations.

19. Three odd numbers sum up to 61 . The smaller is one-third the larger and the middle number is 16 less than the larger. What are the three numbers?

20. A local theatre sells out for their show. They sell all 500 tickets for a total purse of \$ 8,070.00 . The tickets were priced at \$ 15 for students, \$ 12 for children, and \$ 18 for adults. If the band sold three times as many adult tickets as children's tickets, how many of each type was sold?
