Using matrix method, solve the system of equations 3x + 2y – 2z = 3, x + 2y + 3z = 6, 2x – y + z = 2
Given system of equations is:
3x + 2y – 2z = 3,
x + 2y + 3z = 6,
2x – y + z = 2
We know that,
AX = B
i.e.
∴ X = A-1 B
So, firstly, we have to find the A-1 and
Firstly, we find |A|
Expanding |A| along C1, we get
= 3(2 + 3) – 1(2 – 2) + 2(6 + 4)
= 3(5) + 2(10)
= 15 + 20
= 35
Now, we have to find adj A and for that we have to find co-factors:
Now, X = A-1B
∴ x = 1, y = 1 and z = 1
