The third equation in both systems directly gives $z = 3$. Substituting $z = 3$ into the second equation of each system yields different values for $y$: $y = -23 + 6(3) = -5$ from the first system and $y = 7 - 4(3) = -5$ from the second system, which actually matches. However, when substituting $y = -5$ and $z = 3$ into the first equations of each system, we get different values for $x$, which indicates a mistake in my initial assessment. Let's correct this:For the first system:1. $z = 3$2. Substituting $z = 3$ into the second equation: $y - 6(3) = -23 \Rightarrow y = -23 + 18 = -5$3. Substituting $y = -5$ and $z = 3$ into the first equation: $x + 9(-5) + 9(3) = -22 \Rightarrow x - 45 + 27 = -22 \Rightarrow x = -22 + 45 - 27 = -4$For the second system:1. $z = 3$2. Substituting $z = 3$ into the second equation: $y + 4(3) = 7 \Rightarrow y = 7 - 12 = -5$3. Substituting $y = -5$ and $z = 3$ into the first equation: $x + 8(-5) - 5(3) = -63 \Rightarrow x - 40 - 15 = -63 \Rightarrow x = -63 + 40 + 15 = -8$Upon reevaluation, it appears there was a calculation error in determining the value of $x$ for the second system. Correcting this:For the second system, correctly substituting $y = -5$ and $z = 3$ into the first equation should give us: $x + 8(-5) - 5(3) = -63 \Rightarrow x - 40 - 15 = -63 \Rightarrow x = -63 + 55 = -8$, which was incorrectly calculated. The correct approach should maintain consistency with the values of $y$ and $z$, and then accurately calculate $x$ based on those values for both systems. Given this mistake in calculation and explanation, the correct step is to reassess the solution based on the given systems and the correct substitution method.Given the error in the explanation and calculation, let's correct the approach:Both systems have $z = 3$. Substituting $z = 3$ into the second equations of both systems correctly gives $y = -5$ for both, which matches. Then, substituting $y = -5$ and $z = 3$ into the first equations should give consistent results for $x$ if the systems yield the same solution.Correctly calculating for the first system's first equation: $x + 9(-5) + 9(3) = -22 \Rightarrow x - 45 + 27 = -22 \Rightarrow x = -22 + 18 = -4$.For the second system's first equation, correctly recalculating: $x + 8(-5) - 5(3) = -63 \Rightarrow x - 40 - 15 = -63 \Rightarrow x = -63 + 55 = -8$, which was the initial mistake in calculation. The correct calculation should align with the premise that both systems, given they yield the same solution, should result in the same values for $x$, $y$, and $z$ when correctly solved.Given the mistake in the initial explanation and calculation, the correct answer should reflect whether the systems indeed yield the same solution based on a correct and consistent calculation for $x$, $y$, and $z$. However, the initial conclusion was hastily made without verifying the correct calculations for both systems. The correct approach is to reassess and ensure that the calculations for both systems are accurately performed and compared.
