System of linear equations problem
I am pretty much stuck at this SLE question, as I am not exactly sure how to use my graphic calculator to solve for x, y and z:
x+y+z = 2a
2x-y+z = 3a-2b
x-2z = 2b-a
where a and b are unknown constants.

There is no need to use the graphic calculator for this. The problem is uniquely designed-how so?
x+y+z = 2a -----------------(1)
2x-y+z = 3a-2b -------------(2)
x-2z = 2b-a ----------------(3)
(1)+(2)+(3): you get 4x = 4a =======> x = a;
with this, it isn't hard to discover that y =b and z = a-b (shown)
Hope this helps. Peace.
