Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Given: $3x + 4y - z = 2$ $2x - 3y + z = -5$ $5x - 2y + 2z = -3$ 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: $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 4 & -1\\ 2 & -3 & 1\\ 5 & -2 & 2 \end{array}\right]$ $B=\left[\begin{array}{l} 2\\ 5\\ -3 \end{array}\right]$ 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: $x= -1$ $y= 2$ $z = 3$
