To solve the system of equations, let's start with the equations you provided:
- \( x - y = 3y \)
- \( z - 2y = y \)
- \( z = 5 \)
First, we'll simplify the equations:
From the first equation, rearranging gives: \[ x - y = 3y \implies x = 4y \]
From the second equation, rearranging gives: \[ z - 2y = y \implies z = 3y \]
Now we can substitute the value of \( z \) from equation 3 into the rearranged second equation: \[ 3y = 5 \] Solving for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{5}{3} \]
Now that we have \( y \), we can substitute it into the equation for \( z \): \[ z = 3y = 3 \cdot \frac{5}{3} = 5 \] This is consistent with the given \( z = 5 \).
Next, we substitute \( y \) into the equation for \( x \): \[ x = 4y = 4 \cdot \frac{5}{3} = \frac{20}{3} \]
So, we have determined the values of the variables:
- \( x = \frac{20}{3} \)
- \( y = \frac{5}{3} \)
- \( z = 5 \)
The solution to the system of equations is: \[ (x, y, z) = \left(\frac{20}{3}, \frac{5}{3}, 5\right) \]
