Solve Equations x+y+z=3,2x-y-z=3,x-y+z=9 using Inverse Matrix method

Solution:
Here `x+y+z=3`
`2x-y-z=3`
`x-y+z=9`

Now converting given equations into matrix form
`[[1,1,1],[2,-1,-1],[1,-1,1]] [[x],[y],[z]]=[[3],[3],[9]]`

Now, A = `[[1,1,1],[2,-1,-1],[1,-1,1]]`, X = `[[x],[y],[z]]` and B = `[[3],[3],[9]]`

`:.AX = B`

`:.X = A^-1 B`

`|A|` =

`=1 xx (-1 × 1 - (-1) × (-1)) -1 xx (2 × 1 - (-1) × 1) +1 xx (2 × (-1) - (-1) × 1)`

`=1 xx (-1 -1) -1 xx (2 +1) +1 xx (-2 +1)`

`=1 xx (-2) -1 xx (3) +1 xx (-1)`

`= -2 -3 -1`

`=-6`


`"Here, " |A| = -6 != 0`

`:. A^(-1) " is possible."`
