Use the product of matrices $\displaystyle \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & 2 & -2 \\ 2 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & 2 \\ -7 & 7 & -7 \\ -7 & 5 & -4\end{array}\right)$ to solve the following system of equations : \[\begin{aligned} & x+2 y-3 z=6 \\ & 3 x+2 y-2 z=3 \\ & 2 x-y+z=2 \end{aligned} \]
Marking-scheme solution
$$\mathrm{A} B=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & -3 \\
3 & 2 & -2 \\
2 & -1 & 1
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 1 & 2 \\
-7 & 7 & -7 \\
-7 & 5 & -4
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{lll}
7 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 7 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 7
\end{array}\right)=7 I
Thus, $\displaystyle \mathrm{A}^{-1}=\frac{1}{7} B=\frac{1}{7}\left(\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ -7 & 7 & -7 \\ -7 & 5 & -4 \end{array}\right)$
so, Given equation can be written into a matrix equation as
\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & -3 \\
3 & 2 & -2 \\
2 & -1 & 1
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}
x \\
y \\
z
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{l}
6 \\
3 \\
\end{array}\right) \Rightarrow \mathrm{X}=\mathrm{A}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{C}
$\displaystyle \mathrm{A} \quad \mathrm{X}=\mathrm{C}$
\begin{aligned}
& \left(\begin{array}{l}
x \\
y \\
z
\end{array}\right)=\frac{1}{7}\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 1 & 2 \\
-7 & 7 & -7 \\
-7 & 5 & -4
\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}
6 \\
3 \\
\end{array}\right)=\frac{1}{7}\left(\begin{array}{c}
7 \\
-35 \\
-35
\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}
1 \\
-5 \\
-5
\end{array}\right) \\
& \therefore x=1, y=-5, z=-5
\end{aligned}
