Detailed Solutions

1. Use Cramers Rule to solve:

Step 1: Find the determinant, D, by using the x, y, and z values from the problem.

| | | |

Step 2: Find the determinant, Dx, by replacing the x-values in the first column with the values
after the equal sign leaving the y and z columns unchanged.

| | | |

Step 3: Find the determinant, Dy, by replacing the y-values in the second column with the
values after the equal sign leaving the x and z columns unchanged.

| | | |

Step 4: Find the determinant, Dz, by replacing the z-values in the third column with the values
after the equal sign leaving the x and y columns unchanged.

| | | |

Step 5: Use Cramers Rule to find the values of x, y, and z.

The answer is written as on order triple is (2, 4, 5).
