This systembecomes You didn't say to solve it, but I will anyway, because no doubt you'll be given some later to solve, and you can use this as a model to go by: To solve it find the inverse of the coefficient matrix, which is Then left-multiply both sides of the matrix equation by this inverse: Multiply the first two matrices on the left, and multiply the matrices on the right: Multiplying the matrices on the left (the one on the left is the identity matrix) So the solution is x=2, y=1, z=-1.
