I can't really tell what you were doing with the determinant evaluation, but I don't think you really have a grasp on the process.

First you need the co-efficient determinant:

D=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C%0D%0A-3%2C-5%2C4%2C%0D%0A2%2C3%2C1%2C%0D%0A1%2C-4%2C-6%29%29, and in order to evaluate this determinant, you need to augment it by repeating the first two columns.





D=54%2B%28-5%29%2B%28-32%29-12-12-60=-67

Now you need the constant matrix, a 3 row X 1 column matrix with the constant values:

%28matrix%283%2C1%2C6000%2C5000%2C13000%29%29

The D%5Bx%5D determinant is formed by replacing the first column of D with the constant matrix, thus:


, and augmented,






Cramer's Rule says:

x=D%2FD%5Bx%5D, so for this problem, x=-535000%2F-67, roughly 7985.

Solving for y and z is the same process, except that you need to calculate the D%5By%5D and D%5Bz%5D determinants by replacing the second and third columns, respectively, in the coefficient determinant with the constant matrix.

I'll leave you to your arithmetic.

Hope this helps,
