Consider the following system of equations.

x1  +  x2  +  x3  =  b1
x1  −  x2  +  x3  =  b2
x1  −  2x2  −  x3  =  b3
 
(a) Write the system of equations as a matrix equation.
                 
                 
                 
 
x1
 
x2
x3
 = 
 
b1
 
b2
b3

(b) Solve the system of equations by using the inverse of the coefficient matrix.
(i) where 
b1 = 5, b2 = −5, b3 = 0

(x1, x2, x3) = 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


(ii) where 
b1 = 2, b2 = 5, b3 = −3
