Question : 24
Total: 29
Using matrices, solve the following system of equations:
2x – 3y + 5 = 11
3x + 2y – 4z = -5
x + y – 2z= -3
Solution:  
2x – 3y + 5 = 11
3x + 2y – 4z = -5
x + y – 2z= -3
System of equations can be written as AX = B
Where, A = [
235
324
112
]

X = [
x
y
z
]
, B = [
11
5
3
]

A = [
235
324
112
]

|A| = 2(- 4 + 4) + 3 ( - 6 + 4) + 5 (3 - 2)
|A| = - 6 + 5 = - 1 ≠ 0
A1 exists and system of equations has a unique solution
A1 =
1
|A|
(adj A)
adj A = [
012
2923
1513
]

A1 =
1
|A|
[
012
2923
1513
]

= [
012
2923
1513
]

X = A1B = [
012
2923
1513
]
[
11
5
3
]

X = [
5+6
2245+69
1125+39
]
= [
1
2
3
]

So x = 1 , y = 2 , z = 3
