Problem to solve
Solve \[4x-3y=7\], \[2x-3y+z=7\], \[4x-y+z=-8\]
Solution
STEP 1
Solve the following system:
{-3 y + 4 x = 7
2 x - 3 y + z = 7
4 x - y + z = -8
STEP 2
Express the system in matrix form:
(4 | -3 | 0
2 | -3 | 1
4 | -1 | 1)(x
y
z) = (7
7
-8)
STEP 3
Solve the system with Cramer's rule:
x = 7 | -3 | 0
7 | -3 | 1
-8 | -1 | 1/4 | -3 | 0
2 | -3 | 1
4 | -1 | 1 and y = 4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1/4 | -3 | 0
2 | -3 | 1
4 | -1 | 1 and z = 4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8/4 | -3 | 0
2 | -3 | 1

STEP 4
Evaluate the determinant 4 | -3 | 0
2 | -3 | 1
4 | -1 | 1 = -14:
x = 7 | -3 | 0
7 | -3 | 1
-8 | -1 | 1/(-14) and y = 4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1/(-14) and z = 4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8/(-14)
STEP 5
Simplify 7 | -3 | 0
7 | -3 | 1
-8 | -1 | 1/(-14):
x = -1/14 7 | -3 | 0
7 | -3 | 1
-8 | -1 | 1 and y = 4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1/(-14) and z = 4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8/(-14)
STEP 6
Simplify 4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1/(-14):
x = -(7 | -3 | 0
7 | -3 | 1
-8 | -1 | 1)/14 and y = -1/14 4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1 and z = 4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8/(-14)
STEP 7
Simplify 4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8/(-14):
x = -(7 | -3 | 0
7 | -3 | 1
-8 | -1 | 1)/14 and y = -(4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1)/14 and z = -1/14 4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8
STEP 8
Evaluate the determinant 7 | -3 | 0
7 | -3 | 1
-8 | -1 | 1 = 31:
x = (-1)/14×31 and y = -(4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1)/14 and z = -(4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8)/14
STEP 9
(-1)/14×31 = (-31)/14:
x = -31/14 and y = -(4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1)/14 and z = -(4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8)/14
STEP 10
Evaluate the determinant 4 | 7 | 0
2 | 7 | 1
4 | -8 | 1 = 74:
x = (-31)/14 and y = (-1)/14×74 and z = -(4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8)/14
STEP 11
(-1)/14×74 = (-37)/7:
x = (-31)/14 and y = -37/7 and z = -(4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8)/14
STEP 12
Evaluate the determinant 4 | -3 | 7
2 | -3 | 7
4 | -1 | -8 = 62:
x = (-31)/14 and y = (-37)/7 and z = (-1)/14×62
STEP 13
(-1)/14×62 = (-31)/7:
Answer: | 
 | x = (-31)/14 and y = (-37)/7 and z = -31/7
