Md Nur Uddin is a student of Mathematics Discipline Of Khulna University. Now, you have to find his student ID by solving the following system of linear equations:
− 3 x + 2 y − 6 z 5 x + 7 y − 5 z x + 4 y − 2 z = 6 = 6 = 8 .
If the solution satisfies x + y = z , what is the value of x + y , or equivalently z ?

It should be 430z=430
x+y=z
1. Substitute (x+y) for z into two of the equations
-3x+2y- 6z=6
-3x+2y- 6(x+y)=6
-3x+2y-6x-6y=6
-9x-4y=6
x+4y-2z=8
x+4y-2(x+y)=8
x+4y-2x-2y=8
-x+2y=8
2. Next, we use elimination.
-9x-4y=6
-x+2y=8
Multiply the second equation by 2 to get the y terms to cancel.
2(-x-2y)=2(8)
-2x+4y=16
-9x-4y=6
-2x+4y=16
Y terms cancel
-9x=6
-2x=16
-9x-2x=6+16
-11x=22
x = -2
3. Substitute -2 for x to solve for y
-x+2y=8
-(-2)+2y=8
2+2y=8
2y=6
y=3
x+y=z
-2+3=z
1=z
Multiply second equation by 3 and third by 2 you will get
15x + 21y - 15z = 18
2x + 8y - 4z = -16
Subtract second from first. You will get
13x + 13y - 11z = 2
13 (x + y) - 11z = 2
13z - 11z = 2, 2z = 2, z = 1
The real trick here was to manipulate the two equations in such a way that x and y coefficients are equal and that again is no rocket science but pure maths. If we look at the coefficients we see that in first equation y is 2 more than x and in second it is 3 more. We cannot get them equal by adding them so we have to subtract one from other. Now comes the intelligent part. So if we multiply first equation with 3 then y would be 6 more than x. And when we reverse the signs and multiply the second one by 2, x will be 6 more than y. Now if we add together the coefficients will be equal.
⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ − 3 x + 2 y − 6 z = 6 5 x + 7 y − 5 z = 6 x + 4 y − 2 z = 8 Solving: − 1 5 x + 1 0 y − 3 0 z = 3 0 1 5 x + 2 1 y − 1 5 z = 1 8 3 1 y − 4 5 z = 4 8 − 5 x − 2 0 y + 1 0 z = − 4 0 − 1 3 y + 5 z = − 3 4 4 0 3 y − 5 8 5 z = 6 2 4 4 0 3 y + 1 5 5 z = 1 0 5 4 − 4 3 0 z = 4 3 0 z = − 1
− 3 x + 2 y − 6 z = 6 ( 1 )
5 x + 7 y − 5 z = 6 ( 2 )
x + 4 y − 2 z = 8 ( 3 )
Multiply ( 1 ) by 5 and ( 2 ) by 3 , then add the results to eliminate x
5 ( − 3 x + 2 y − 6 z = 6 ) ⟹ − 1 5 x + 1 0 y − 3 0 z = 3 0 ( 4 )
3 ( 5 x + 7 y − 5 z = 6 ) ⟹ 1 5 x + 2 1 y − 1 5 z = 1 8 ( 5 )
Add the results
( 4 ) + ( 5 ) ⟹ 3 1 y − 4 5 z = 4 8 ( 6 )
Now, we must eliminate x in ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) . Multiply ( 3 ) by − 5 then add to ( 2 ) to eliminate x .
− 5 ( x + 4 y − 2 z = 8 ) ⟹ − 5 x − 2 0 y + 1 0 z = − 4 0 ( 7 )
( 2 ) + ( 7 ) ⟹ − 1 3 y + 5 z = − 3 4 ( 8 )
Multiply ( 8 ) by 9 then add to ( 6 ) to eliminate z and solve for y .
9 ( − 1 3 y + 5 z = − 3 4 ) ⟹ − 1 1 7 y + 4 5 z = − 3 0 6 ( 1 0 )
( 6 ) + ( 1 0 ) ⟹ − 8 6 y = − 2 5 8 ⟹ y = 3
Solve for z in ( 8 ) by substituting 3 for y .
− 1 3 ( 3 ) + 5 z = − 3 4 ⟹ − 3 9 + 5 z = − 3 4 ⟹ z = 1
Solve for x in ( 1 ) or ( 2 ) or ( 3 ) . In here, I used ( 3 ) because there is no coefficient of x
x + 4 ( 3 ) − 2 ( 1 ) = 8 ⟹ x = − 2
