Question

Consider the system of equations \(\left[ {\begin{array}{ccc} 1&3&2\\ 2&2&{ - 3}\\ 4&4&{ - 6}\\ 2&5&2 \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{c} {{x_1}}\\ {{x_2}}\\ {{x_3}} \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{c} 1\\ 1\\ 2\\ 1 \end{array}} \right]\) The value of x3 (round off to the nearest integer), is ______.

The third equation repeats twice the second. Subtracting twice the first equation from the fourth gives x2+2x3=1. Thus x2=1−2x3 and the first equation gives x1=−2+4x3. Substitute into the second: 2(−2+4x3)+2(1−2x3)−3x3=1, yielding x3=3.
