2400z=12000-50x-50y 6x=-1200z+60 4y=-400z+20
Multiply each equation by the least common multiple of denominators in it. Simplify.
z=5-\frac{1}{48}x-\frac{1}{48}y
Solve 2400z=12000-50x-50y for z.
6x=-1200\left(5-\frac{1}{48}x-\frac{1}{48}y\right)+60 4y=-400\left(5-\frac{1}{48}x-\frac{1}{48}y\right)+20
Substitute 5-\frac{1}{48}x-\frac{1}{48}y for z in the second and third equation.
x=\frac{5940}{19}-\frac{25}{19}y y=\frac{5940}{13}-\frac{25}{13}x
Solve these equations for x and y respectively.
y=\frac{5940}{13}-\frac{25}{13}\left(\frac{5940}{19}-\frac{25}{19}y\right)
Substitute \frac{5940}{19}-\frac{25}{19}y for x in the equation y=\frac{5940}{13}-\frac{25}{13}x.
y=\frac{660}{7}
Solve y=\frac{5940}{13}-\frac{25}{13}\left(\frac{5940}{19}-\frac{25}{19}y\right) for y.
x=\frac{5940}{19}-\frac{25}{19}\times \frac{660}{7}
Substitute \frac{660}{7} for y in the equation x=\frac{5940}{19}-\frac{25}{19}y.
x=\frac{1320}{7}
Calculate x from x=\frac{5940}{19}-\frac{25}{19}\times \frac{660}{7}.
z=5-\frac{1}{48}\times \frac{1320}{7}-\frac{1}{48}\times \frac{660}{7}
Substitute \frac{1320}{7} for x and \frac{660}{7} for y in the equation z=5-\frac{1}{48}x-\frac{1}{48}y.
z=-\frac{25}{28}
Calculate z from z=5-\frac{1}{48}\times \frac{1320}{7}-\frac{1}{48}\times \frac{660}{7}.
z=-\frac{25}{28} x=\frac{1320}{7} y=\frac{660}{7}
The system is now solved.
