Solve the system of equations using matrices. Use Gauss-Jordan elimination.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

unless you actually ahve to go thru the process .. just input the options to determine the correct one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and you seem to be missing a y part in the first one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

do you have to run it by hand? or can you use a calculator like a ti83?

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

I can use a calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then use it.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

I don't know how to use the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. Is there a different way of doing it?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what kind of calculator you got?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and yeah, there are other ways to approach it

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

ti 84

OpenStudy (amistre64):

go to your matrix functions and setup a 3x4 matrix to rref

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2nd, math is the key presses for a ti83

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

If i did this right, I would choose D.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

rref{{3,-7,-7,7},{6,4,-3,67},{-6,-3,1,-62}}

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you need to recheck your information ....

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

reworking......

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

Didn't even come close that time.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your setup and the options do not match

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

So none of the choices are correct?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

nothing matches up ... so i do not see any correct solutions

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i might have the first equation off tho, it that spose to be a -7 in there? or a -7y?

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

I think the first equation should be 3x - 7y - 7z = 7 not 3x - 7 - 7z = 7

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

Aha, so it would be D after all.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the first equation is good as is with the options available

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

Thanks
