Math Problem Statement

Solve the following system of equations by using Gauss- Elimination method: 3x - y + 2z = 12 x + 2y + 8z = 11 2x - 2y - z = 2

Solution

To solve the system of equations using the Gauss-Elimination method, follow these steps:

System of equations:

3x - y + 2z &= 12 \\ x + 2y + 8z &= 11 \\ 2x - 2y - z &= 2 \end{align*}$$ ### Step 1: Write the augmented matrix The augmented matrix for the system of equations is: \[ \left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 3 & -1 & 2 & 12 \\ 1 & 2 & 8 & 11 \\ 2 & -2 & -
