Answer to Problem 28E
Solution:
The solution of given system is
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
Step 1: Simplify and put all three equations in the form
Step 2: Use elimination method to eliminate any one of the variables. So that we get two equations with two unknowns.
Step 3: Solve the remaining system of equations just as solving a system of linear equations with two unknowns.
Step 4: Solve for the third variable.
Step 5: Check whether solved solutions satisfy the given system of equations by substituting the values obtained in the given system of linear equations.
2) Given:
Calculation:
From all the above three equations, we can observe that the coefficients of variables are in fractions.
To perform calculations easily, we can take L.C.M and make fraction as integers.
(I) Simplify all three equations
For simplifying (1) take L.C.M. By doing so, we get
By simplifying (2), we get
Simplifying (3), we get
Now the system of linear equations is
(II) We can choose to eliminate
On multiplying (4) by 4 and (5) by 3 and by subtracting the resultant, we can eliminate
Multiplying (3) by 4, we get
Multiplying (5) by 3, we get
Subtracting (7) from (8), we get
By multiplying (6) by 4 and subtracting from (4), we can eliminate
By multiplying (5) by 4, we get
Subtracting (5) from (10), we get
Now we have two equations with two unknowns, the two equations are
Solve for
Subtracting (9) and (11), we get
Substitute
III) Solve for third variable
Substitute
IV) Verify:
Substitute

- Three streams - Stream A, Stream B, and Stream C - flow into a lake. The flow rates of these streams are not yet known and thus to be found. The combined water inflow from the streams is 300 m³/h. The rate of Stream A is three times the combined rates of Stream B and Stream C. The rate of Stream B is 50 m³/h less than half of the difference between the rates of Stream A and Stream C. Find the flow rates of the three streams by setting up an equation system Ax = b and solving it for x. Provide the values of A and b. Assuming that you get to an upper-triangular matrix U using an elimination matrix E such that U = E A, provide also the components of E.arrow_forwarddent Application X GA spinner is divided into five cox | + 9/26583471/4081d162951bfdf39e254aa2151384b7 A spinner is divided into five colored sections that are not of equal size: red, blue, green, yellow, and purple.
