Solve the system of equations. 3x + 4y + 3z = 5
2x + 2y + 3z = 5
5x+ 6y+7z = 7
a. (x = 13, y=-6, z = -2)
b. (x = 15, y = -8, z = -4)
c. (x = 16, y = -9, z = -1)
d. (x = 14, y = -7, z = 3)

x = 14

y = -7

z = -3

but this is none of the provided answer options !

Step-by-step explanation:

it's really easy by principle. it's just some work to do.

we try to find equations to express one variable in terms of the others.

but one thing there is : your teacher made a mistake.

the right solution is x = 14, y = -7, z = -3

your teacher made a typo at d.

but the right answer should be d.

just to give you an idea how this can be done (and also to prove that there is a mistake by the teacher):

we can directly try to transform one expression into one that describes x by y and z.

and then another to describe e.g. z by y. and then solve the third one just for y. and then we get the other 2 by these other expressions.

or we can e.g. add or subtract one equation to/from another. this is one of these cases, because we can find really simple expressions that way :

we do

5x + 6y + 7z = 7

- (3x + 4y + 3z = 5)

- (2x + 2y + 3z = 5)

0x + 0y + z = -3

=> z = -3

3x + 4y - 3×3 = 5

3x = -4y + 14

x = (-4y + 14)/3

2×(-4y + 14)/3 + 2y - 9 = 5

(-8y + 28)/3 + 2y = 14

-8y + 28 + 6y = 42

-2y = 14

y = -7

x = (-4×-7 + 14)/3 = (28+14)/3 = 42/3 = 14

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
