Use row operations on an sugmented matrix to solve the follo
Use row operations on an sugmented matrix to solve the following system of equations.
x-3y+3z=7
x+2y-z=-2
3x+2y+4z=5
Clear instructions on each step would be greatly appreciated.
Solution
Your matrix
Find the pivot in the 1st column in the 1st row
Eliminate the 1st column
Make the pivot in the 2nd column by dividing the 2nd row by 5
Eliminate the 2nd column
Make the pivot in the 3rd column by dividing the 3rd row by 19/5
Eliminate the 3rd column
Solution set:
x = 1
y = -1
z = 1
| X1 | X2 | X3 | b | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | -3 | 3 | 7 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 | -1 | -2 |
| 3 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 5 |
