| Question 770772:  Solve using Gauss-Jordan elimination method
 x+3y  =0
 x+4y+z=1
 2x-y-z=23
 Answer by Cromlix(4381)
      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+3y =0.....1 x+4y+z=1....2
 2x-y-z=23.....3
 Add (2) + (3)
 x + 4y + z = 1
 2x - y - z = 23
 3x + 3y    = 24...4
 Consider (1) and (4)
 x + 3y = 0....1
 3x + 3y = 24...4
 Subtract
 -2x    = -24
 2x     = 24
 x      = 12
 Substitute x = 12 in ((1)
 x + 3y = 0.....1
 12 + 3y = 0
 3y = - 12
 y = -4
 Substitute x = 12, y = -4
 in (2)
 x + 4y + z = 1
 12 +4(-4) + z = 1
 12 - 16 + z = 1
 -4 + z = 1
 z = 1 + 4
 z = 5.
 x = 12, y = -4 and z = 5
 Hope this helps.
 :-)
