if we have this matrix:

[1,1,1][x]= [100]
[5,-3,0][y]= [10]
[0,3,4] [z]= [290]


the system of equations is:





and a real-world word problem could be:

Three detectives named Mr. Clueless (let the number of cases the he has solved be ), Mr. Confused (let the number of cases the he has solved be ), and Mr. Smarty Pants (let the number of cases the he has solved be ) all together have solved .
Since Mr. Clueless is kind of "", his number of cases is less then number of Mr. Confused cases. We also know that a of number of Mr. Confused cases and number of Mr. Smarty Pants cases is .
What a number of have each of them solved?

From the following augmented matrix, first write the system of equations that represents the augmented matrix and then create a real-world word problem that would represent these equations and their unknowns. Be creative. Do not use word problems that are in the assignments or course material. 
é1  1  1ù éxù    é100ù
ê5 -3  0ú êyú = ê 10ú
ë0  3  4û ëzû    ë290û 

The system of equations is

1x + 1y + 1z = 100
5x - 3y + 0z =  10
0x + 3y + 4z = 290

or

 x +  y +  z = 100
5x - 3y      =  10
     3y + 4z = 290

John has three numbers written on a sheet of paper.  He observes
that their sum is 100. He then observes that the difference 
between five times the first number and three times the second 
number is 10. Finally he observes that three times the second 
number increased by four times the third number is 290.  What 
three numbers are written on John's piece of paper?

Answer: first number = 20, second number = 30, third number = 50.
