Solve (Gauss Elimination):3x1 – x2 + x3 = 2,- 15x1 + 6x2 – 5x3 = 5,x1 – 2x2 + 2x3 = 1

Solve (Gauss Elimination):

3x1 – x2 + x3 = 2,

- 15x1 + 6x2 – 5x3 = 5,

x1 – 2x2 + 2x3 = 1

Soln:


Or, 3x1 – x2 + x3 = 2 …(i)


Or, - 15x1 + 6x2 – 5x3 = 5 …(ii)


Or, 5x1 – 2x2 + 2x3 = 1 …(iii),


Multiplying equation (i) by 5 and adding with (ii),


Or, x2 = 15 ….(iv)


Multiplying equation (i) by 5 and (iii) by 3 and subtracting (iii) from (i),


Or, x2 + x3 = 7….(v)


Now, we have three equations,


Or, 3x1 – x2 + x3 = 2 …(i)


Or, x2 = 15 …(iv)


Or, x2 – x3 = 7 …(v)


From (iv), we have, x2 = 15.


Using x2 = 15 in (v), we have, x3 = 8.


Using x2 = 15, x3 = 8 in equation (i), we have, x1 = 3.


So, x1 = 3, x2 = 15, x3 = 8.
