x+y+z=66 4y=5z 2x=3y
Reorder the equations.
x=-y-z+66
Solve x+y+z=66 for x.
2\left(-y-z+66\right)=3y
Substitute -y-z+66 for x in the equation 2x=3y.
y=\frac{5}{4}z z=66-\frac{5}{2}y
Solve the second equation for y and the third equation for z.
z=66-\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{5}{4}z
Substitute \frac{5}{4}z for y in the equation z=66-\frac{5}{2}y.
z=16
Solve z=66-\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{5}{4}z for z.
y=\frac{5}{4}\times 16
Substitute 16 for z in the equation y=\frac{5}{4}z.
y=20
Calculate y from y=\frac{5}{4}\times 16.
x=-20-16+66
Substitute 20 for y and 16 for z in the equation x=-y-z+66.
x=30
Calculate x from x=-20-16+66.
x=30 y=20 z=16
The system is now solved.
