Solve it using elimination substitution or GaussJordan elimi
Solve it using elimination, substitution, or Gauss-Jordan elimination on a matrix. Show work.
5x + 3y + z = -3
x - 3y + 2z = -24
14x - 2y + 3z = -71
Solution
elimination method :
5x + 3y + z = -3--------->(1)
x - 3y + 2z = -24------------>(2)
14x - 2y + 3z = -71------------->(3)
(1)+(2)
6x +3z =-27
=>2x +z =-9----------->(4)
(2)*1 +(3)*2
2*(5x + 3y + z) +(14x - 2y + 3z)*3= -6-216
10x+6y +5z+42x-6y+9z=-222
52x +14z =-222
26x +7z =-111-------------->(5)
(5)- 7*(4)
(26x +7z)-7*(2x +z )=-111-7*(-9)
26x +7z -14x -7z =-111+63
12x =-48
x =-4
put x =-4 in (4)
2(-4) +z =-9
-8+z =-9
z =-9+8
z =-1
put x =-4, z =-1 in (1)
5*(-4) + 3y -1 = -3
-20+3y-1=-3
3y=18
y =6
so solution is x=-4,y=6,z=-1
