n+d+q=25
.05n+.10d+.25q=3.80
0n+1d-1q=1
1,1,1,25
5,10,25,380
0,1,-1,1
Your matrix
№ n d q b
1 1 1 1 25
2 5 10 25 380
3 0 1 -1 1
Write the main matrix
№ n d q
1 1 1 1
2 5 10 25
3 0 1 -1
Determinant is not zero, therefore inverse matrix exists

Calculate the inverse matrix
n d q
1.4 -0.08 -0.6
-0.2 0.04 0.8
-0.2 0.04 -0.2
Multiply the inverse matrix by the solution vector
№ X
n 4
d 11
q 10

n = 4
d = 11
q= 10
