Work Step by Step

In exercise 14, $\quad A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 2 & 4 & 1\\ -1 & 1 & -1\\ 1 & 4 & 0 \end{array}\right],$ we obtained $A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -4 & -4 & 5\\ 1 & 1 & -1\\ 5 & 4 & -6 \end{array}\right]$ $B=\left[\begin{array}{l} 7\\ 0\\ -2 \end{array}\right],\quad X=\left[\begin{array}{l} x\\ y\\ z \end{array}\right]=A^{-1}B$ $X=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -4 & -4 & 5\\ 1 & 1 & -1\\ 5 & 4 & -6 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} 7\\ 0\\ -2 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} -4(7)-4(0)+5(-2)\\ 1(7)+1(0)-1(-2)\\ 5(7)+4(0)-6(-2) \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} -38\\ 9\\ 47 \end{array}\right]$ $x=-38, \quad y=9\quad z=47 $
