Solve each of the following systems of equations using matrix method.
x - y – 2z = 3;
x + y = 1;
x + z = - 6.
To find: - x , y , z
Given set of lines are : -
x - y - 2z = 3
x + y = 1
x + z = - 6
Converting the following equations in matrix form,
AX = B
R2 – R1
R3 – R1
2R3 - R2
Again converting into equations we get
X + y - 2z = 3
2y + 2z = - 2
4z = - 16
Z = - 4
2y – 8 = - 2
2y = - 2 + 8
2y = 6
Y = 3
X - 3 + 8 = 3
X = - 2
∴ x = - 2 , y = 3 , z = - 4
