Systems of Linear Equations: Three Variables · Try It 1
Solve the system of linear equations with three variables.
\left\{\begin{matrix} x + 2 y - 3 z = - 1 \\ x - 3 y + z = 1 \\ 2 x - y - 2 z = 2 \end{matrix}\right \begin{matrix}\left(1\right) \\ \left(2\right) \\ \left(3\right)\end{matrix}
\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline \text{Step 1} & \text{Write the equations in standard form. If any coefficients are fractions, clear them.
