1. Solve the following system of equations by matrix method:

(iv) 3x + y = 19

3x – y = 23

(v) 3x + 7y = 4

x + 2y = -1

(vi) 3x + y = 7

5x + 3y = 12

Solution:

(i) Given 5x + 7y + 2 = 0 and 4x + 6y + 3 = 0

Hence, x = 9/2 and y = -7/2

(ii) Given 5x + 2y = 3

3x + 2y = 5

Hence, x = -1 and y = 4

(iii) Given 3x + 4y – 5 = 0

x – y + 3 = 0

Hence, X = 1 Y = – 2

(iv) Given 3x + y = 19

3x – y – 7z = 1

(ii) x + y + z = 3

2x – y + z = -1

2x + y – 3z = -9

(iii) 6x – 12y + 25z = 4

4x + 15y – 20z = 3

2x + 18y + 15z = 10

(iv) 3x + 4y + 7z = 14

2x – y + 3z = 4

x + 2y – 3z = 0

(v) (2/x) – (3/y) + (3/z) = 10

(1/x) + (1/y) + (1/z) = 10

2x – y + 3z = 12

Solution:

(i) Given x + y –z = 3

2x + 3y + z = 10

3x – y – 7z = 1
