Question 31 of 61

Use the system of equations below to solve for [tex]$z$[/tex].

[tex]
\begin{array}{l}
2x + 3y - 6z + 4w = 10 \\
8w - 3x - 4y + 6z = 7 \\
2y - 8z + 7x - w = -7 \\
6z + 4w - 5x - 7y = -21
\end{array}
[/tex]

Answer:



Answer :

Let's solve the system of linear equations for [tex]\(z\)[/tex] in detail. The system of equations is given by:

1. [tex]\(2x + 3y - 6z + 4w = 10\)[/tex]
2. [tex]\(8w - 3x - 4y + 6z = 7\)[/tex]
3. [tex]\(2y - 8z + 7x - w = -7\)[/tex]
4. [tex]\(6z + 4w - 5x - 7y = -21\)[/tex]

The objective is to solve this system specifically for the variable [tex]\(z\)[/tex]. Here's a step-by-step approach to solve the system:

Step 1: Express the equations in a more convenient form (standard form).

1. [tex]\(2x + 3y - 6z + 4w = 10\)[/tex]
2. [tex]\(-3x - 4y + 6z + 8w = 7\)[/tex]
3. [tex]\(7x + 2y - 8z - w = -7\)[/tex]
4. [tex]\(-5x - 7y + 6z + 4w = -21\)[/tex]

Step 2: Using elimination or substitution method, we solve the system of equations.

Step 3: Combine equations to eliminate variables step-by-step until only [tex]\(z\)[/tex] is isolated.

Given the complexity of a system involving multiple steps, we'll outline the critical stages and operations performed, which are usually done through matrix manipulation or processing linear combinations of these equations.

Step 4: Upon solving, we deduce the value of [tex]\(z\)[/tex].

From the algebraic manipulations and solving the equations systematically:

The value of [tex]\(z\)[/tex] is calculated to be:

[tex]\[ z = 3 \][/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]\(z\)[/tex] in the system of equations is [tex]\( \boxed{3} \)[/tex].
