Use Cramers rule to solve the system x y z 3 x y 2z 10
Use Cramer\'s rule to solve the system. x + y - z = -3 x - y + 2z = 10 x + 5y - z = -23 Find the determinants. |A| =, |D_x| =, |D_y| =, |D_z| = The solution is x =, y =, and z =. (Type integers or simplified fractions.)
Solution
Your matrix
Write down the main matrix and find its determinant
D = -12
Replace the 1st column of the main matrix with the solution vector and find its determinant
Dx = -36
Replace the 2nd column of the main matrix with the solution vector and find its determinant
Dy = 60
Replace the 3rd column of the main matrix with the solution vector and find its determinant
Dz = -12
x = Dx / D = (-36) / (-12) = 3
y = Dy / D = 60 / (-12) = -5
z = Dz / D = (-12) / (-12) = 1
