The solution of the system of equations $2x +\frac{1}{2}y-z=1,2y= 3, x+2z = 4$ is: |
$x= 0.5, y=1.5, z=1.5$ $x=0.9, y = 1.5, z = 1.5$ $x= 1.5, y= 1.55, z = 0.9$ $x= 0.9, y = 1.5, z = 1.55$ |
$x= 0.9, y = 1.5, z = 1.55$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $x= 0.9, y = 1.5, z = 1.55$ Given system: $2x + \frac{1}{2}y - z = 1$ $2y = 3$ $x + 2z = 4$ From $2y = 3$: $y = \frac{3}{2}$ Use $x + 2z = 4$ → $x = 4 - 2z$ Substitute into first equation: $2(4 - 2z) + \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) - z = 1$ $8 - 4z + \frac{3}{4} - z = 1$ $8.75 - 5z = 1$ $-5z = -7.75$ $z = \frac{7.75}{5} = \frac{31}{20}$ Now compute $x$: $x = 4 - 2\left(\frac{31}{20}\right)$ $x = 4 - \frac{62}{20}$ $x = \frac{80}{20} - \frac{62}{20}$ $x = \frac{18}{20} = \frac{9}{10}$ The solution is: $x = \frac{9}{10},\; y = \frac{3}{2},\; z = \frac{31}{20}$. |
