Using Math in Engineering and Science
3x - y + 5z = 14
2x + 3y + 4z = 7
x + y + z = 2
1:[3 -1 5| 14]
2:[2 3 4| 7]
3:[1 1 1| 2]
1) Switch Rows 1 and 3.
2) -3R1 + R3 = R3
3) -2R1 + R2 = R2
4) 4R2 + R3 = R3
5) (1/10)R3 = R3
6) R1 - R2 = R1
7) R1 + R3 = R1
8) -2R3 + R2 = R2
1:[1 0 0| 1]
2:[0 1 0| -1]
3:[0 0 1| 2]
The solutions are x = 1, y = -1, and z = 2. The solution point is (1, -1, 2).
