How would you go about finding the solution to this system of three equations in three variables? be specific. for example, you might want to add the first two equations first, or multiply the third one by two first and use elimination, etc. (no right answer exists.)

2x – y + z = 7

x + 2y – 5z = -1

x – y = 6

the square root of what number? if you add that, then someone will probably answer the question.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
