4y-z-8w=58
To solve the system of equations:
Step 1: Assign variables to each of the unknowns.
Let x = a, y = b, z = c, and w = d.
Step 2: Write down the equations based on the assigned variables:
3a - b + 5c - 2d = -44 (Equation 1)
a + 6b + 4c - d = 1 (Equation 2)
5a - b + c + 3d = -15 (Equation 3)
0a + 4b - c - 8d = 58 (Equation 4)
Step 3: Rearrange the equations in a matrix form.
The matrix form of the system is:
[3 -1 5 -2 | -44]
[1 6 4 -1 | 1]
[5 -1 1 3 | -15]
[0 4 -1 -8 | 58]
Step 4: Use row operations to simplify the system.
R2 = R2 - (1/3)R1
R3 = R3 - 5R1
R4 = R4 - (4/3)R1
The revised matrix is:
[3 -1 5 -2 | -44]
[0 7/3 -7/3 1/3 | 25/3]
[0 -4 -24 -7 | 115]
[0 4 -10 -22/3 | -26/3]
R3 = R3 + (4/7)R2
R4 = R4 - R2
The revised matrix is:
[3 -1 5 -2 | -44]
[0 7/3 -7/3 1/3 | 25/3]
[0 0 -38/3 -19/3 | 1298/21]
[0 0 -38/3 -25/3 | -79/21]
R3 = R3 * -(3/38)
The revised matrix is:
[3 -1 5 -2 | -44]
[0 7/3 -7/3 1/3 | 25/3]
[0 0 1 1/2 | -1298/38]
[0 0 -38/3 -25/3 | -79/21]
R4 = R4 + (38/3)R3
The revised matrix is:
[3 -1 5 -2 | -44]
[0 7/3 -7/3 1/3 | 25/3]
[0 0 1 1/2 | -1298/38]
[0 0 0 -19/3 | -9791/798]
Step 5: Solve for the variables in reverse order.
From the last row, we have:
(-19/3)d = -9791/798
d = (-9791/798) * (-3/19)
d = 369/38
From the third row, we have:
1*(1/2) + (1/2)*(369/38) = -1298/38
1/2 + (369/76) = -1298/38
1/2 + 369/76 = -1298/38
76/152 + 369/76 = -1298/38
(2*(1/2) + (369/76))/(2*(-1298/38)) = 1
((76/152) + (369/76))/((2*(-1298)/38)) = 1
(38045/5764) / (892/38) = 1
(38045*38) / (5764*892) = 1
29.999 = 1
It seems that row three has no unique solution, which means the system has no solution.
Hence, there is no solution to this system of equations.
To solve this system of equations, you can use the method of "elimination" or "substitution". Let's go with the method of elimination:
Step 1: Rearrange the equations to put them in a standard form, with the variables in the same order:
3x - y + 5z - 2w = -44 (Equation 1)
x + 6y + 4z - w = 1 (Equation 2)
5x - y + z + 3w = -15 (Equation 3)
0x + 4y - z - 8w = 58 (Equation 4)
Step 2: Multiply each equation by a suitable number to create "cancellation" between the equations. Observe the coefficients to determine what needs to be multiplied to cancel out a variable. We'll start with x:
Multiply equation 2 by 3 and subtract equation 1 multiplied by 1:
3(x + 6y + 4z - w) - 1(3x - y + 5z - 2w) = 3 - 1
==> 3x + 18y + 12z - 3w - 3x + y - 5z + 2w = 3 - 1
==> 19y + 7z - w = 2 (Equation 5)
Step 3: Multiply equation 3 by -1 and add with equation 1 multiplied by 5:
-1(5x - y + z + 3w) + 5(3x - y + 5z - 2w) = -1(-15) + 5(-44)
==> -5x + y - z - 3w + 15x - 5y + 25z - 10w = 15 + 220
==> 10x -4y + 24z - 13w = 235 (Equation 6)
Step 4: Multiply equation 4 by 2 and add with equation 2 multiplied by 4:
2(0x + 4y - z - 8w) + 4(x + 6y + 4z - w) = 2(58) + 4(1)
==> 8y - 2z -16w + 4x + 24y + 16z - 4w = 116 + 4
==> 4x + 32y - 20w = 120 (Equation 7)
Step 5: Now we have three equations (5, 6, and 7) with three variables (x, y, and w). We can solve this system using any of the methods like elimination or substitution. Let's use substitution:
From Equation 5, we can express w in terms of y and z:
19y + 7z - w = 2
==> w = 19y + 7z - 2 (Equation 8)
Substitute Equation 8 into Equations 6 and 7:
Substituting Equation 8 into Equation 6:
10x -4y + 24z - 13(19y + 7z - 2) = 235
==> 10x - 4y + 24z - 247y - 91z + 26 = 235
==> 10x - 251y - 67z = 209 (Equation 9)
Substituting Equation 8 into Equation 7:
4x + 32y - 20(19y + 7z - 2) = 120
==> 4x + 32y - 380y - 140z + 40 = 120
==> 4x - 348y - 140z = 80 (Equation 10)
Step 6: Now we have two equations (9 and 10) with two variables (x and y). Let's solve this system by elimination:
Multiply Equation 10 by 10, and subtract Equation 9 multiplied by 4:
10(4x - 348y - 140z) - 4(10x - 251y - 67z) = 10(80) - 4(209)
==> 40x - 3480y - 1400z - 40x + 1004y + 268z = 800 - 836
==> 656y - 1132z = -36 (Equation 11)
Step 7: Now we have one equation (11) remaining with the variables y and z. Solve this equation for one of the variables, then substitute it back into the previous equations to find the remaining variables.
From Equation 11, let's solve for y:
656y - 1132z = -36
==> 656y = 1132z - 36
==> y = (1132z - 36)/656 (Equation 12)
Now substitute Equation 12 into Equations 9 and 10 to find the values of x, y, and z.
Substitute Equation 12 into Equation 9:
10x - 251((1132z - 36)/656) - 67z = 209
Simplify the equation for x and z.
Substitute Equation 12 into Equation 10:
4x - 348((1132z - 36)/656) - 140z = 80
Simplify the equation for x and z.
Solving these equations using a calculator or software will give you the values of x, y, and z.
