Solution
To solve the system of equations using the inverse of the coefficient matrix, let's first represent the system in matrix form:
Given system of equations:
-8x - y + 6z &= -33 \\ 8y + 5z &= 19 \\ 2x + 3y + 6z &= 9 \end{aligned}$$ We can represent this system as $$A \cdot X = B$$, where: - $$A$$ is the coefficient matrix, - $$X$$ is the column vector of variables $$[x, y, z]$$, - $$B$$ is the column vector of constants. ### Step 1: Coefficient Matrix $$A$$ The coefficient matrix $$A$$ is: $$A = \begin{pmatrix} -8 & -1 & 6 \\ 0 & 8 & 5 \\ 2 & 3 & 6 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Column Vector of Variables $$X$$ The column vector of variables $$X$$ is: $$X = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 3: Column Vector of Constants $$B$$ The column vector of constants $$B$$ is: $$B = \begin{pmatrix} -33 \\ 19 \\ 9 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 4: Solving using the inverse of $$A$$ We can find the solution $$X = A^{-1} \cdot B$$, but first we need to calculate $$A^{-1}$$, the inverse of the coefficient matrix. Let's compute $$A^{-1}$$ and then multiply it by $$B$$. The solution to the system of equations is: $$x = 3, \quad y = 3, \quad z = -1$$ Thus, the correct choice is **A**: The solution of the system is $$(3, 3, -1)$$.
