SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on solving the equation -2x - 9y + 3z = -8 with three variables: x, y, and z. The user provided a parameterized solution: x = 4 - 4.5s + 1.5t, y = s, z = t, but encountered an error message from their database indicating the solution is incorrect. Other participants confirmed the user's solution is mathematically valid, suggesting that the issue lies elsewhere, possibly in the problem statement or database configuration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of linear equations and parameterization
  • Familiarity with variable manipulation in algebra
  • Basic knowledge of database error handling
  • Experience with mathematical problem statements and their requirements
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the full problem statement for clarity and completeness
  • Investigate database configuration settings for potential issues
  • Learn about parameterized solutions in linear algebra
  • Explore common error messages in database systems and their resolutions
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students studying algebra, software developers working with databases, and anyone troubleshooting mathematical solutions in programming environments.

-2x - 9y + 3z = -8

I set parameters, and i get

x= 4 - 4.5s + 1.5t
y = s
z = t

But the database I'm using says it's incorrect...

Welcome to MHB, ends! :)

What you write is correct.
There is no problem there.
So if your database says it's incorrect, the mistake must be somewhere else.

Can you give us the full problem statement?
What is asked exactly?
