How To Solve Three Variable Linear Equations in 3 Methods

Linear equation consists of variables, coefficients and constants that describes an expression for certain mathematical aspects. However these equations plays a crucial role in various fields such as science, engineering and economics.

In this post, let's see how we can solve the three variable linear equations in 3 different methods.

1. Solve for x, y and z for below given equations.

x + 3y - 5z = 7   ------------(1)
3x - 7y + 9z = 12 -----------(2)
2x + 4y - z = 9 -----------(3)

Method-1 : Matrix Method Using Cramer's Rule

Method-2 : By Solving Equations

From (1), x = 7 - 3y + 5z -----------(4)

Using equation (4) in equations (2) and (3) we get,

3(7 - 3y + 5z) - 7y + 9z = 12------- From (2)
21 - 9y  + 15z -7y +9z =12
-16y + 24z = -9 ------(5)

2(7 - 3y + 5z) + 4y - z = 9-------- From (3)
14 -6y +10z +4y -z = 9
-2y +9z = -5-------(6)

Solving (5) and (6) we get, 
y = -0.4062,  z = -0.645

Now using the values of y and z in equation (4) we get value of x.

x = 7 - 3(-0.4062) + 5(-0.645)
x = 4.99

Method-3 : By Equating The Row Values To Zero
