[2 -1 1]
[1 2 6]
[3 -1 2]
____________
[2 -1 -2]
[1 2 3]
[3 -1 -1]
represents the values of which variable in the solution of the equations below?
2x- y + z = -2
x +2y + 6z = 3
3x -y + 2z=-1
a) x
b) y
c) z
d) none of the variables

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
None of the variables. You would be solving for Z if
the numerator matrix and the denominator matrices were
switched.
