In matrix form, the system is given by
![\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -20 \\ 29 \\ 29 \end{bmatrix}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bbmatrix%7D%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%20-1%20%5C%5C%202%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%5C%5C%203%20%26%202%20%26%201%20%5Cend%7Bbmatrix%7D%20%5Cbegin%7Bbmatrix%7D%20x%20%5C%5C%20y%20%5C%5C%20z%20%5Cend%7Bbmatrix%7D%20%3D%20%5Cbegin%7Bbmatrix%7D%20-20%20%5C%5C%2029%20%5C%5C%2029%20%5Cend%7Bbmatrix%7D)
I'll use G-J elimination. Consider the augmented matrix
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} -1 & 1 & -1 & -20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%20-20%20%5C%5C%202%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2029%20%5C%5C%203%20%26%202%20%26%201%20%26%2029%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
• Multiply through row 1 by -1.
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2020%20%5C%5C%202%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2029%20%5C%5C%203%20%26%202%20%26%201%20%26%2029%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
• Eliminate the entries in the first column of the second and third rows. Combine -2 (row 1) with row 2, and -3 (row 1) with row 3.
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 5 & -2 & -31 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2020%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%20-11%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%205%20%26%20-2%20%26%20-31%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
• Eliminate the entry in the second column of the third row. Combine -5 (row 2) with row 3.
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 24 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2020%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%20-11%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%200%20%26%203%20%26%2024%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
• Multiply row 3 by 1/3.
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2020%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%20-11%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%200%20%26%201%20%26%208%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
• Eliminate the entry in the third column of the second row. Combine row 2 with row 3.
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2020%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%201%20%26%200%20%26%20-3%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%200%20%26%201%20%26%208%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
• Eliminate the entries in the second and third columns of the first row. Combine row 1 with row 2 and -1 (row 3).
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 9 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%201%20%26%200%20%26%200%20%26%209%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%201%20%26%200%20%26%20-3%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%200%20%26%201%20%26%208%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
Then the solution to the system is
![\boxed{x=9, y=-3, z=8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cboxed%7Bx%3D9%2C%20y%3D-3%2C%20z%3D8%7D)
If you want to use G elimination and substitution, you'd stop at the step with the augmented matrix
![\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%201%20%26%2020%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%201%20%26%20-1%20%26%20-11%20%5C%5C%200%20%26%200%20%26%201%20%26%208%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
The third row tells us that
. Then in the second row,
![y-z = -11 \implies y=-11 + 8 = -3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y-z%20%3D%20-11%20%5Cimplies%20y%3D-11%20%2B%208%20%3D%20-3)
and in the first row,
![x-y+z=20 \implies x=20 + (-3) - 8 = 9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x-y%2Bz%3D20%20%5Cimplies%20x%3D20%20%2B%20%28-3%29%20-%208%20%3D%209)
It could either be B or C. There is not enough information to tell which one.
Answer:the fact is that you can do 420x420
Step-by-step explanation:
The element on the position (1,1) in the product matrix FC is a scalar product of the first row in F and the first column in C.
Therefore the element in the position (1,1) in FC will be a scalar product of (-2,0) and (12,1):
![-2\cdot 12+0\cdot 1 = -24+0=-24](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-2%5Ccdot%2012%2B0%5Ccdot%201%20%3D%20-24%2B0%3D-24)
The only matrix that has a value of -24 in the position (1,1) is matrix B.
Therefore, the answer is matrix B.
