Solve the following system of the linear equations by Cramer’s rule:

2y – 3z = 0


X + 3y = – 4


3x + 4y = 3

Given: - Equations are: –


2y – 3z = 0


X + 3y = – 4


3x + 4y = 3


Tip: - Theorem – Cramer’s Rule


Let there be a system of n simultaneous linear equations and with n unknown given by







and let Dj be the determinant obtained from D after replacing the jth column by



Then,


provided that D ≠ 0


Now, here we have


2y – 3z = 0


x + 3y = – 4


3x + 4y = 3


So by comparing with theorem, lets find D , D1 and D2



Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row


D = 0[0] – 2[(0)(1) – 0] – 3[1(4) – 3(3)]


D = 0 – 0 – 3[4 – 9]


D = 0 – 0 + 15


D = 15


Again, Solve D1 formed by replacing 1st column by B matrices


Here




Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row


D1 = 0[0] – 2[(0)( – 4) – 0] – 3[4( – 4) – 3(3)]


D1 = 0 – 0 – 3[ – 16 – 9]


D1 = 0 – 0 – 3( – 25)


D1 = 0 – 0 + 75


D1 = 75


Again, Solve D2 formed by replacing 2nd column by B matrices


Here




Solving determinant


D2 = 0[0] – 0[(0)(1) – 0] – 3[1(3) – 3( – 4)]


D2 = 0 – 0 + ( – 3)(3 + 12)


D2 = – 45


And, Solve D3 formed by replacing 3rd column by B matrices


Here




Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row


D3 = 0[9 – ( – 4)4] – 2[(3)(1) – ( – 4)(3)] + 0[1(4) – 3(3)]


D3 = 0[25] – 2(3 + 12) + 0(4 – 9)


D3 = 0 – 30 + 0


D3 = – 30


Thus by Cramer’s Rule, we have




x = 5


again,




y = – 3


and,




z = – 2
