Question 823700: I need help with this math problem. I have to make an augumented matrix to solve it and I have three equations.
1. 3x-y+z=4
2. x+2y+3z=10
3. 3x+2y-z=-12
I have already made the matrix, but I need help on how to get the three numbers that I need.
The answer choices are
A. (0,5,6)
B. (-1,2,9)
C. (-1,-2,5)
D. (0,-2,2)

3x - y + z = 4
x + 2y + 3z = 10
3x + 2y - z = -12

copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this matrix-method solver:

---
answer:
x= -1
y= -2
z= 5
---
now for the augmented matrix:
3 -1 1 4
1 2 3 10
3 2 -1 -12
---
as for solving the linear system from the augmented matrix, it involves performing a sequence of row operations on the matrix, which include:
1) interchange two rows
2) multiply a row by a constant
3) add a multiple of a row to another row
---
the aim of the row operations is to make the left 3x3 sub-matrix into the identity matrix.
---
having done so, the solution appears as the three remaining numbers in column 4

Hi, there--

3x -y + z = 4
x + 2y + 3z = 10
3x + 2y -z = -12

The augmented matrix for this system is



Here is a very helpful site for showing the row operations to solve a matrix. The calculator will solve the matrix and show you all the steps, or it will let you practice by choosing each row operation yourself. (Great learning tool!)

The correct answer is C. (-1, -2, 5).

Good luck!
