Interactive practice questions

We want to determine if the ordered triple $\left(-9,-7,4\right)$(9,7,4) is a solution of the following system of equations.

$-2x$2x $+$+ $5y$5y $-$ $3z$3z $=$= $-29$29
$-3x$3x $+$+ $y$y $+$+ $4z$4z $=$= $38$38
$-4x$4x $+$+ $2y$2y $+$+ $3z$3z $=$= $34$34

Find the missing values by substituting in the ordered triple $\left(-9,-7,4\right)$(9,7,4).

$-2x$2x $+$+ $5y$5y $-$ $3z$3z $=$= $\editable{}$
$-3x$3x $+$+ $y$y $+$+ $4z$4z $=$= $\editable{}$
$-4x$4x $+$+ $2y$2y $+$+ $3z$3z $=$= $\editable{}$
