Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Given: $12x + 0.5y - 7z = 21$ $11x - 2y + 3z = 43$ $13x + y - 4z = 29$ 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: $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 12 & 0.5 & -7\\ 11 & -2 & 3\\ 13 & 1 & -4 \end{array}\right]$ $B=\left[\begin{array}{l} 21\\ 43\\ 29 \end{array}\right]$ 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: $x= 3$ $y= -2$ $z = 2$
