The sum of three numbers is `-1`. If we multiply second number by `2`, third number by `3` and add them, we get `5`. If we subtract the third number from the sum of first and second numbers, we get `-1`. Represent it by a system of equation. Find the numbers, using inverse of a matrix.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first represent the given conditions as a system of equations, then we will use the inverse of a matrix to find the values of the three numbers. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the three numbers be: - \( x \) (first number) - \( y \) (second number) - \( z \) (third number) ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations From the problem statement, we have the following equations based on the conditions given: 1. The sum of the three numbers is \(-1\): \[ x + y + z = -1 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. If we multiply the second number by \(2\) and the third number by \(3\) and add them, we get \(5\): \[ 2y + 3z = 5 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 3. If we subtract the third number from the sum of the first and second numbers, we get \(-1\): \[ x + y - z = -1 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 3: Write in Matrix Form We can represent the above system of equations in the matrix form \(AX = B\), where: - \( A \) is the coefficient matrix, - \( X \) is the column matrix of variables, - \( B \) is the column matrix of constants. The system can be written as: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 5 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 4: Find the Inverse of Matrix A To find the inverse of matrix \( A \), we first need to calculate the determinant of \( A \). The determinant \( |A| \) is calculated as follows: \[ |A| = 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} - 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 0 & 3 \\ 1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} + 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 0 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the minors: \[ = 1 \cdot (2 \cdot -1 - 3 \cdot 1) - 1 \cdot (0 \cdot -1 - 3 \cdot 1) + 1 \cdot (0 \cdot 1 - 2 \cdot 1) \] \[ = 1 \cdot (-2 - 3) - 1 \cdot (-3) + 1 \cdot (-2) \] \[ = -5 + 3 - 2 = -4 \] Now, we find the adjoint of \( A \) and then the inverse: \[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|} \cdot \text{adj}(A) \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Adjoint of A The adjoint of \( A \) is the transpose of the cofactor matrix. After calculating the cofactors, we find: \[ \text{adj}(A) = \begin{bmatrix} -5 & 2 & 1 \\ 3 & -2 & -3 \\ -2 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \] Thus, \[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{-4} \begin{bmatrix} -5 & 2 & 1 \\ 3 & -2 & -3 \\ -2 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{5}{4} & -\frac{1}{2} & -\frac{1}{4} \\ -\frac{3}{4} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{3}{4} \\ \frac{1}{2} & 0 & -\frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 6: Multiply \( A^{-1} \) with \( B \) Now we can find \( X \): \[ X = A^{-1}B \] \[ = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{5}{4} & -\frac{1}{2} & -\frac{1}{4} \\ -\frac{3}{4} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{3}{4} \\ \frac{1}{2} & 0 & -\frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 5 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix} \] Calculating this product: 1. For \( x \): \[ x = \frac{5}{4} \cdot -1 + -\frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 + -\frac{1}{4} \cdot -1 = -\frac{5}{4} - \frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{5}{4} - \frac{10}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{14}{4} = -\frac{7}{2} \] 2. For \( y \): \[ y = -\frac{3}{4} \cdot -1 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 + \frac{3}{4} \cdot -1 = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{2} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{2} \] 3. For \( z \): \[ z = \frac{1}{2} \cdot -1 + 0 \cdot 5 + -\frac{1}{2} \cdot -1 = -\frac{1}{2} + 0 + \frac{1}{2} = 0 \] ### Final Solution Thus, the values of the three numbers are: \[ x = -\frac{7}{2}, \quad y = \frac{5}{2}, \quad z = 0 \]
