How do i input the below system of equations in wolfram alpha in order to solve for the unknowns and plot them? If i just say "solve" and input these equations one after the other with a simicolen {solve $2x - y +0z = 0$;$-x + 2y -z = -1$;$0x - 3y + 4z = 4$} it simply throws the value of $x$,$y$ and $z$ without showing any steps nor the plot. I'am Wondering if there's some kind of code that can be written in order to make wolfram alpha understand what i'am talking about. $$\left.\begin{matrix} 2x - y +0z = 0\\ -x + 2y -z = -1\\ 0x - 3y + 4z = 4 \end{matrix}\right\}$$

0As far as I know those functions are yet to be implemented for systems of equations. – 2011-12-26

0If you enter "equations", you get [this](http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=equations). – 2011-12-26

2just writing "$2x - y +0z = 0, -x + 2y -z = -1, 0x - 3y + 4z = 4$" gives $(0,0,1)$ as noted under the "examples" which seems to constitute the whole help structure – 2011-12-26

0I had to solve a system of polynomials, and it wouldn't work until I put in the `*` symbols for multiplications explicitly. – 2015-07-11

This seemed to work : solve(2x−y+0z=0,−x+2y−z=−1,0x−3y+4z=4,[x,y,z])

1The syntax is `Solve[{2 x - y == 0, -x + 2 y - z == -1, -3 y + 4 z == 4}, {x, y, z}]` – 2011-12-26

0@alok Remove the `.Nope` in the end and it works. – 2011-12-26

In WolframAlpha's Search Bar:
Search for "solve system of equations." Enter your equations.

6This answer does not refer to Googling. It's actually quite useful and exactly on-topic. – 2013-12-18
