\begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -5x + 4y + z = 17 \\ -4x + 5y = 21 \\ 3x + y + 5z = 18 \end{cases} \end{equation*} A) Apply elimination process and write the Upper Triangular system below: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} x + y + z = \\ x + y + z = \\ x + y + z = \end{cases} \end{equation*} You're finished if one of the following happens after elimination step (2): 1) the first 2 coefficients in equation 2 are all zeros immediately after elimination step (2). Simply swap your equation 2 and 3 to obtain your final Upper Triangular system. 2) the first 2 coefficients in equation 3 are all zeros immediately after elimination step (2). Your system is already in its Upper Triangular form. B) From the completed Upper Triangular system, solve the system by back substitution. \begin{equation*} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \\ \\ \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*}

Step 1
Step 1: Rewrite the system in matrix form We can rewrite the system as a matrix equation Ax = b, where A is the coefficient matrix, x is the vector of variables, and b is the constant vector: | 5 4 0 | | x | | 15 | | 0 4 5 | x | y | = | 21 | | 3 1 1 | Show more…

Gaussian Elimination
Solving Using Elimination 1 Solve the following system of equations: x^2 - y = 1 2x^2 + 3y = 17 Solution: Since the variables match (x^2 and y), elimination method can easily be used. Although we could choose to eliminate either variables, let's choose the y's. Multiply every term in the first equation by the value that would eliminate the y's. Submit the new equation below. Try again. 5x^2 = 20
