Gaussian Elimination. Please see attached.

I am struggling with this and I believe my answer for y and z are correct but I need to solve for x and check this by putting that back into the equation. This is what I am unsure what to do and any help would be much appreciated.

OpenStudy (loser66):

y is wrong

OpenStudy (loser66):

22y -2z = -27

OpenStudy (loser66):

\( y = \dfrac{-27 +2z}{22}\) , replace \(z = \dfrac{5}{4}\) you will get the correct answer for y , then for x

OpenStudy (carlj0nes):

that = -1.113636

One more thing, you should label how to get the last matrix. I know you use \(2R_1+R_3\), but if you don't state it out, the credit may be took off.

OpenStudy (loser66):

Ok, but should let it as fraction -49/44 , and plug to the first equation to get x

OpenStudy (loser66):

x-4y +z= 5 x = 5 +4y-z dat sit.

thank you
