Answer

$x= 3$ $y= 2$ $z = 1$

Work Step by Step

Given: $x + y - 2z = 3$ $2x + 5z = 11$ $2x + 3y = 12$ The question asks for a graphing calculator to solve the system of equations. The calculations were done on desmos.com/matrix Convert the linear system into a matrix equation. Below shows A and B as a matrix equation from the linear system: $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 1 & -2\\ 2 & 0 & 5\\ 2 & 3 & 0 \end{array}\right]$ $B=\left[\begin{array}{l} 3\\ 11\\ 12 \end{array}\right]$ Then the calculator finds the inverse of A (see $A^{-1}$ below) To determine matrix X, the solution, multiply the inverse of A by B (see $A^{-1}B$ below) The answers are below: $x= 3$ $y= 2$ $z = 1$
