`A=((1,2,-1),(3,5,-1),(-2,-1,-2)),` `X=((x),(y),(z)),` and `C=((6),(2),(4))`
Using Scientific Notebook, we find the inverse of A to be:
`A^-1=((5.5,-2.5,-1.5),(-4,2,1),(-3.5,1.5,0.5))`
(We could have used Gauss-Jordan Elimination if we need to show all steps.)
So the solution to the system of equations is:
`X=A^-1C`
`=((5.5,-2.5,-1.5),(-4,2,1),(-3.5,1.5,0.5))((6),(2),(4))`
`=((22),(-16),(-16))`
Check:
`22 + 2(-16) - (-16) = 6` [Checks OK]
`3(22) + 5(-16) - (-16) = 2` [Checks OK]
`-2(22) - (16) - 2(-16) = 4` [Checks OK]
So the solution is `x = 22`, `y = -16` and `z = -16`.
