Solve each of the following systems of equations using matrix method.
x + y + z = 4;
2x – y + z = - 1;
2x + y – 3z = - 9.
To find: - x , y , z
Given set of lines are : -
x + y + z = 4;
2x – y + z = - 1;
2x + y – 3z = - 9.
Converting the following equations in matrix form,
AX = B
R2 – 2R1
R3 –2R1
3R3 - R2
Again converting into equations, we get
X + y + z = 4
- 3y - z = - 9
- 14z = - 42
Z = 3
- 3y - 3 = - 9
- 3y = - 6
Y = 2
X + 2 + 3 = 4
X = 4 - 5
X = - 1
∴
