Examples
- One solution: , , and . . We can add this to the third equation to get Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 28z = 28 } , which means z = 1. So, the first two equations can be rewritten as Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x + y = 2 } and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 2x - 3y = -1 } . Using substitution, elimination, or graphing, we can calculate that x = 1 and y = 1 with these two equations. Thus, the solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (1, 1, 1).
