Answer

For the linear system $\left\{\begin{array}{l} a_{1}x+b_{1}y+c_{1}z=d_{1}\\ a_{2}x+b_{2}y+c_{2}z=d_{2}\\ a_{3}x+b_{3}y+c_{3}z=d_{3 } \end{array}\right.$ the matrix form of the system is $AX=B$ $\left[\begin{array}{lll} a_{1} & b_{1} & c_{1}\\ a_{2} & b_{2} & c_{2}\\ a_{3} & b_{3} & c_{3} \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} x\\ y\\ z \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} d_{1}\\ d_{2}\\ d_{3} \end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

For the linear system $\left\{\begin{array}{l} a_{1}x+b_{1}y+c_{1}z=d_{1}\\ a_{2}x+b_{2}y+c_{2}z=d_{2}\\ a_{3}x+b_{3}y+c_{3}z=d_{3 } \end{array}\right.$ We define the coefficient matrix, $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} a_{1} & b_{1} & c_{1}\\ a_{2} & b_{2} & c_{2}\\ a_{3} & b_{3} & c_{3} \end{array}\right]$ and two column matrices, $X=\left[\begin{array}{l} x\\ y\\ z \end{array}\right],\ B=\left[\begin{array}{l} d_{1}\\ d_{2}\\ d_{3} \end{array}\right].$ The matrix form of the system is $AX=B$ $\left[\begin{array}{lll} a_{1} & b_{1} & c_{1}\\ a_{2} & b_{2} & c_{2}\\ a_{3} & b_{3} & c_{3} \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} x\\ y\\ z \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} d_{1}\\ d_{2}\\ d_{3} \end{array}\right]$
