Combine like terms. 3x − 2y + 4z – x + 5y + 3x - 2y + 4z – x + 5y + z

3x-2y+4z-x+5y+3x-2y+4z-x+z

First, reorder(I put the like terms in parenthesis to help you see the work better).

(3x+3x-x-x)+(5y-2y-2y)+(4z+4z+z)

Now, we add/subtract like terms.

(6x-2x)+(5y-4y)+(8z+z)

Lastly, we combine.

4x+y+9z

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
