Explanation / Answer

solution using Gauss-Jordan elimination

Augmented matrix for given system of equations

Your matrix

Find the pivot in the 1st column (inversing the sign in the whole row) and swap the 2nd and the 1st rows

Eliminate the 1st column

Find the pivot in the 2nd column in the 2nd row

Eliminate the 2nd column

Make the pivot in the 3rd column by dividing the 3rd row by 73

Eliminate the 3rd column

Solution set:

x = -1

y = 4

z = 2
