Use elimination to solve the system of equations.
Example 1: Solving a Linear System in Three Variables
Step 1 Eliminate one variable.
5x – 2y – 3z = –7
2x – 3y + z = –16
3x + 4y – 2z = 7
In this system, z is a reasonable choice to eliminate first because the coefficient of z in the second equation is 1 and z is easy to eliminate from the other equations.

The table shows the number of each type of ticket sold and the total sales amount for each night of the school play. Find the price of each type of ticket.
Example 2: Business Application
Orchestra Mezzanine Balcony Total Sales
Fri 200 30 40 $1470
Sat 250 60 50 $1950
Sun 150 30 0 $1050
Example 2 ContinuedStep 1 Let x represent the price of an orchestra seat,
y represent the price of a mezzanine seat, and z represent the present of a balcony seat.
Write a system of equations to represent the data in the table.
200x + 30y + 40z = 1470
250x + 60y + 50z = 1950
150x + 30y = 1050

Friday’s sales.
Saturday’s sales.
Sunday’s sales.
A variable is “missing” in the last equation; however, the same solution methods apply. Elimination is a good choice because eliminating z is straightforward.
5(200x + 30y + 40z = 1470)
–4(250x + 60y + 50z = 1950)

Step 2 Eliminate z.
Multiply equation by 5 and equation by –4 and add.1

1000x + 150y + 200z = 7350
–1000x – 240y – 200z = –7800
y = 5
Example 2 Continued
By eliminating z, due to the coefficients of x, you also eliminated x providing a solution for y.
150x + 30y = 1050
150x + 30(5) = 1050
3 Substitute 5 for y.
x = 6
Solve for x.
Step 3 Use equation to solve for x.3
Example 2 Continued
200x + 30y + 40z = 14701 Substitute 6 for x and 5 for y.

z = 3
Solve for x.
Step 4 Use equations or to solve for z.21
200(6) + 30(5) + 40z = 1470
The solution to the system is (6, 5, 3). So, the cost of an orchestra seat is $6, the cost of a mezzanine seat is $5, and the cost of a balcony seat is $3.

Consistent means that the system of equations has at least one solution.
Remember!
The systems in Examples 1 and 2 have unique solutions. However, 3-by-3 systems may have no solution or an infinite number of solutions.
Classify the system as consistent or inconsistent, and determine the number of solutions.
