Make the given changes in Example 1 of this section and then solve the resulting system of equations.

Change the second equation to 8x + 9z = 10 (no y-term).

Data from Example 1

Solve the following system of equations:

Thus, the solution is x = 1/2 y = −3, z =2/3 Substituting in the equations, we have
