Solve x + 2y + 3z = 6, 3x + 2y + z = 4, 3x + 4y + 2z = 10

We have 3 equations to solve for x, y and
z


x + 2y + 3z = 6…(1)


3x + 2y
+ z = 4…(2)


3x + 4y + 2z =
10…(3)


(1) – (2)


=> x +
2y + 3z - 3x - 2y - z = 6 - 4


=> -2x + 2z =
2


=> -x + z =
1…(4)


2*(2)- (3)


2*(3x + 2y +
z)- (3x + 4y + 2z) = 8 – 10


=> 6x + 4y + 2z – 3x -4y
-2z = -2


=> 3x =
-2


=> x = -2/3


Use this
in (4)


2/3 +z = 1


=> z
= 1- 2/3


=> z =
1/3


Substitute x = -2/3 and z = 1/3 in
(2)


=> -2 + 2y +1/3
=4


=> 2y = 4 +2
-1/3


=> 2y = 6 –
1/3


=> y = 3 –
1/6


=> y =
17/6


Therefore x= -2/3 , y = 17/6 and z =
1/3

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
