Solve {l}{x=5+0s}{y=4+0.5}{0=0+-7s}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { x = 5 + 0 s } \\ { y = 4 + 0.5 } \\ { 0 = 0 + - 7 s } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, s, y

$$x=5$$

$$y=4.5$$

$$s=0$$

Solution Steps

Consider the second equation. Add 4 and 0.5 to get 4.5.

$$y=4.5$$

Consider the third equation. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$0=-7s$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-7s=0$$

Divide both sides by -7. Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.

$$s=0$$

Consider the first equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$x=5+0\times 0$$

Multiply 0 and 0 to get 0.

$$x=5+0$$

Add 5 and 0 to get 5.

$$x=5$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=5 s=0 y=4.5$$
