- [ 8 ] Solve the following system of equations for w .
2 w + x + y + z = 1
w + 2 x + y + z = 2
w + x + 2 y + z = 2
w + x + y + 2 z = 1 .
− 1 6
Answer: Add all the equations together to find that 5 x + 5 y + 5 z + 5 w = 6, or x + y + z + w = .
5 5 − 1
We can now subtract this equation from the first equation to see that w = .
