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

x – y + 2z = 7;


3x + 4y – 5z = - 5:


2x – y + 3z = 12.



To find: - x , y , z


Given set of lines are : -


x - y + 2z = 7


3x + 4y – 5z = - 5


2x – y + 3z = 12


Converting the following equations in matrix form,


AX = B



R2 – 3R1


R3 – 2R1



7R3 - R2



Again converting into equations we get


x – y + 2z = 7


7y - 11 z = - 26


4z = 12


Z = 3


7y – 11 ×3 = - 26


7y = - 26 + 33


7y = 7


Y = 1


X – 1 + 2×3 = 7


X = 7 + 1 - 6


X = 2
