Question 1026763: write in Ax = b form
y + 3z = 7 + 4x
2y + x = 1 - 5z
6x - 9 = 2y + 3z

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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:

%22%22=%22%22%28matrix%283%2C1%2C7%2C1%2C9%29%29

That's A%2AX%22%22=%22%22B form

because A%22%22=%22%22%28matrix%283%2C3%2C-4%2C1%2C3%2C1%2C2%2C5%2C6%2C2%2C-3%29%29, 
X%22%22=%22%22%28matrix%283%2C1%2Cx%2Cy%2Cz%29%29, 
B%22%22=%22%22%28matrix%283%2C1%2C7%2C1%2C9%29%29
