y + 3z = 7 + 4x 2y + x = 1 - 5z 6x - 9 = 2y + 3z First arrange terms in alphabet order on the left and constant terms on the right, like this:Put all the coefficients in a 3x3 matrix, multiplied by a 3x1 matrix of unknowns or variables, and set that equal to the 3x1 matrix of constants on the right: That's form because , , Edwin
