Answer

$(10, -10, -5)$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Define the following matrices: $\begin{array} \\A=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 2&0&3\\ 1&1&6\\3&-1&1\end{bmatrix}, \begin{array} \\X=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} x\\ y\\z \end{bmatrix}, \begin{array} \\B=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 5\\0\\5\end{bmatrix}$ Step 2. Rewrite the original system of equations as $AX=B$, thus $A^{-1}AX=X=A^{-1}B$ Step 3. Find the inverse $A^{-1}$ using the procedure given in section 10.5: $\begin{array} \\AI=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 2&0&3&|&1&0&0\\ 1&1&6&|&0&1&0\\3&-1&1&|&0&0&1\end{bmatrix} \begin{array} \\ \\2R_2-R_1\to R_2\\ 3R_2-R_3\to R_3 \end{array}$ Step 4. Perform the row operations (row3 first): $\begin{array} \\AI=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 2&0&3&|&1&0&0\\ 0&2&9&|&-1&2&0\\0&4&17&|&0&3&-1\end{bmatrix} \begin{array} \\ \\ \\ 2R_2-R_3\to R_3 \end{array}$ Step 5. Perform the row operations: $\begin{array} \\AI=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 2&0&3&|&1&0&0\\ 0&1&0&|&-2&1&0\\0&0&1&|&-2&1&1\end{bmatrix} \begin{array} ((R_1-3R_3)/2\to R_1\\ \\ \\ \end{array}$ Step 6. Perform the row operations: $\begin{array} \\AI=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 1&0&0&|&7/2&-3/2&-3/2\\ 0&1&0&|&-2&1&0\\0&0&1&|&-2&1&1\end{bmatrix}$ Step 7. We obtain the inverse: $\begin{array} \\A^{-1}=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 7/2&-3/2&-3/2\\ -2&1&0\\-2&1&1\end{bmatrix}$ Step 8. The solutions: $\begin{array} \\X=A^{-1}B=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 7/2&-3/2&-3/2\\ -2&1&0\\-2&1&1\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 5\\0\\5\end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix} 10\\-10\\-5\end{bmatrix}$ or $(10, -10, -5)$
