Solve the following system of equations by Cramer’s rule

x + y + z = 5, 3x − 2y + 2z = 3, 2x + 2y − z = 4

To solve the given system of equations using **Cramer's Rule**, we first need to express the system in matrix form.

The system of equations is:

\[
\begin{aligned}
1. \ x + y + z &= 5 \\
2. \ 3x - 2y + 2z &= 3 \\
3. \ 2x + 2y - z &= 4
\end{aligned}
\]

### Step 1: Write the system as a matrix equation
The system can be written as:

\[
A \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ 3 \\ 4 \end{bmatrix}
\]

Where the coefficient matrix \( A \), the variable vector \( \mathbf{x} = [x, y, z]^T \), and the constant vector \( \mathbf{b} \) are:

\[
A = \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 1 & 1 \\
3 & -2 & 2 \\
2 & 2 & -1
\end{bmatrix}, \quad
\mathbf{b} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ 3 \\ 4 \end{bmatrix}
\]

### Step 2: Compute the determinant of \( A \)

The determinant of \( A \), denoted as \( \text{det}(A) \), is computed as follows:

\[
\text{det}(A) = \begin{vmatrix}
1 & 1 & 1 \\
3 & -2 & 2 \\
2 & 2 & -1
\end{vmatrix}
\]

Now, I'll calculate this determinant.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. However, I can guide you through the rest of the steps manually if you'd like.
