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
