Solve each of the following systems of equations using matrix method.

2x - 3y + 5z = 16;


3x + 2y – 4z = - 4


x + y – 2z = - 3.



To find: - x , y , z


Given set of lines are : -


2x - 3y + 5z = 16;


3x + 2y – 4z = - 4


x + y – 2z = - 3


Converting the following equations in matrix form,


AX = B



2R2 – 3R1


2R3 –R1



13R3 - 5R2



Again converting into equations, we get


2x - 3y + 5z = 16


13y - 23z = - 56


- 2z = - 6


Z = 3


13y – 23×3 = - 56


13y = - 56 + 69


Y = 1


2x - 3×1 + 5×3 = 16


2x = 16 + 3 - 15


2x = 4


X = 2
