Question

Solve the system by the method of Gaussian elimination:

x + y - z = -1

2x + 3y - z = -2

-3x - 2y + 2z = -3

Expert Solution
Given,

x+y-z=-12x+3y-z=-2-3x-2y+2z=-3

The augmented matrix is,

11-1-123-1-2-3-2  2-3

Now apply R2R2-2R1  &  R3R3+3R1, we get

11 -1-101    1  001 -1-6

Now apply R3R3-R2, we get

11 -1-101    1  000 -2-6

Now apply R3-12R3, we get

11 -1-101    1  000    1 3

Now apply R2R2-R3, we get

11 -1-101    0-300    1 3

Now apply R1R1+R3, we get

11 0201  0-300  1 3

Now apply R1R1-R2, we get

10 0501  0-300  1 3
