Marigold wants to solve the system of equations {x- 9y + 3z = 59 .
| 2x + 7y – 2z = –14
Her work is shown.
Step 1: Marigold begins by solving for z in the first equation.
6y – 2z = –32
|- 2z = -32 – 6y
z = 3y + 16
Then she uses substitution in the second equation and solves for
Step 2:
x.
x- 9y + 3(3y + 16) = 59
x- 9y + 9y + 16 = 59
x = 43
Step 3: Next, she uses x and z to solve for y in the third equation.
2(43) + 7y – 2(3y + 16) = –14
|86 + 7у - бу -32- -14
y = -68
Step 4: Finally, she uses y to solve for z in the first equation.
6(-68) – 2z = –32
Her work is shown.
Step 1: Marigold begins by solving for z in the first equation.
6y – 2z = -32

Step 2:
x.
x- 9y + 3(3y + 16) = 59
x- 9y + 9y + 16 = 59
x = 43
Step 3: Next, she uses x and z to solve for y in the third equation.
2(43) + 7y – 2(3y + 16) = –14
|86+ 7y — бу — 32 3 -14
y = -68
Step 4: Finally, she uses y to solve for z in the first equation.
6(-68) – 2z = –32
z = -188

Transcribed Image Text:A: What mistake did Marigold make?
B: What is the correct solution?
Select one answer for Part A and one answer for Part B.
О в (11, -68, -188)
О в: (11,-4, 4)
О в: (43, —4, 4)
О в (43, -68, -188)
OA: In Step 4, Marigold incorrectly solved for z. Because there is an error in Step 4,
Marigold's solution is incorrect.
О в: (43, —4, 4)
О в: (43, -68, -188)
O A: In Step 4, Marigold incorrectly solved for z. Because there is an error in Step 4,
Marigold's solution is incorrect.
O A: In Step 3, Marigold incorrectly solved for y. Because of this error, Step 4 is also
incorrect.
O A: In Step 1, Marigold incorrectly isolated z. Because of this error, steps 2, 3, and 4 are
also incorrect.
O : In Step 2, Marigold made a mistake distributing. Also, because of this error, steps 3
and 4 are also incorrect.
