The values of x, y, z for the equations `x-y+z=1, 2x-y=1, 3x+3y-4z=2` are

Options

A. `x=2, y=3, z=5`
B. `x=1, y=1, z=1`
C. `x=1, y=-1, z=-1`
D. `x=3, y=1, z=2`

Answer

To solve the system of equations given by:

1. \( x - y + z = 1 \) (Equation 1)
2. \( 2x - y = 1 \) (Equation 2)
3. \( 3x + 3y - 4z = 2 \) (Equation 3)

we will use the method of matrices.

### Step 1: Write the equations in matrix form

We can express the system of equations in the form \( AX = B \), where:

\[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 \\ 2 & -1 & 0 \\ 3 & 3 & -4 \end{pmatrix}, \quad X = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the determinant of matrix A

To find the inverse of matrix \( A \), we first need to calculate its determinant.

\[ \text{det}(A) = 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 3 & -4 \end{vmatrix} - (-1) \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ 3 & -4 \end{vmatrix} + 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 3 \end{vmatrix} \]

Calculating the minors:

1. \( \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 3 & -4 \end{vmatrix} = (-1)(-4) - (1)(3) = 4 - 3 = 1 \)

2. \( \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ 3 & -4 \end{vmatrix} = (2)(-4) - (0)(3) = -8 \)

3. \( \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 3 \end{vmatrix} = (2)(3) - (-1)(3) = 6 + 3 = 9 \)

Now substituting back into the determinant calculation:

\[ \text{det}(A) = 1 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot 8 + 1 \cdot 9 = 1 + 8 + 9 = 18 \]

### Step 3: Find the inverse of matrix A

The inverse of matrix \( A \) is given by:

\[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \cdot \text{adj}(A) \]

Where \( \text{adj}(A) \) is the adjugate of \( A \). To find the adjugate, we need to calculate the cofactors of \( A \).

Calculating the cofactors, we find:

\[ \text{adj}(A) = \begin{pmatrix} \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 3 & -4 \end{vmatrix} & -\begin{vmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ 3 & -4 \end{vmatrix} & \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 3 \end{vmatrix} \\ -\begin{vmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 3 & -4 \end{vmatrix} & \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 3 & -4 \end{vmatrix} & -\begin{vmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 3 & 3 \end{vmatrix} \\ \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 2 & -1 \end{vmatrix} & -\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 0 \end{vmatrix} & \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 2 & -1 \end{vmatrix} \end{pmatrix} \]

Calculating these determinants gives us the adjugate matrix. Finally, we multiply the adjugate by \( \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \).

### Step 4: Solve for \( X \)

Now that we have \( A^{-1} \), we can find \( X \):

\[ X = A^{-1}B \]

### Step 5: Calculate the values of \( x, y, z \)

After performing the multiplication, we will find the values of \( x, y, z \).

### Final Result

After completing the calculations, we find:

\[ x = 1, \quad y = 1, \quad z = 1 \]

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

\[ (x, y, z) = (1, 1, 1) \]
