Solution

|A|=1(02)1(16)+1(10)=2+5+1=4

Cofactors of the elements of matrix A are
C11 = (1)1+1[0211] = 1(02)=2

C12 = (1)1+2[1231] = (1)(16)=5

C13 = (1)1+3[1031] = 1(10)=1

C21 = (1)2+1[1111] = (1)(00)=0

C22 = (1)2+2[1131] = 1(13)=2

C23 = (1)2+3[1131] = (1)(13)=2

C31 = (1)3+1[1102] = (20)=2

C32 = (1)3+2[1112] = (1)(21)=1

C33 = (1)3+3[1110] = (01)=1

So, cofactor matrix C=251022211

Adj A=CT=202521121

A1=Adj A|A|=14202521121

The given system of equations can be expressed as

111102311xyz=6712

AX=B
where A=111102311,X=xyz and B=6712

X=A1B

xyz = 14202521121 6712

xyz=141248

xyz = 312

x=3;y=1;z=2
