Question

Select the augmented matrix for the following system of equations.
y+2=3x
1/4z=z-1
z-8=x/2

Answer 1

get them in the form
ax+by=c

Answer 2

so the first equation is
-3x+y=2

Answer 3

and then this will be one of the rows of the matrix
-3 1 2

Answer 4

What about the backwards equation? c=by+ax?

Answer 5

o sorry I didn't see the z
one of your rows will look like
-3 1 0 2

Answer 6

ok note we have x y z as rariables

Answer 7

Does that require a separation between the 0 and 2 for each row?

Answer 8

so the first equation can be written as
-3x+1*y+0*z=2
does this make sense?

Answer 9

Yes, that does.

Answer 10

the second equation is
1/4z=z-1
can be written like
(1/4)z-z=-1 and so -(3/4)z = -1
so
we can write it like this
0*x+0*y-(3/4)z = -1
right?
