Great at Simplifying Complex Concepts and Processes
Substitute the 2nd equation into the 1st equation. keep the last equation. From eq2,
a = -2b - 10
2(-2b - 10) + c = 10
-4b - 20 + c = 10
-4b + c = 30 eq1
b + 2c = 5 eq3
Substitute eq3 into eq1.
-4(-2c + 5) + c = 30
8c - 20 + c = 30
Solve for c from this equation.
9c = 50
c = 50/9
Plug in this value of c into eq3 to find b.
Then use the value b into eq1 to find a.
