4.Create a new matrix.

Select Real matrix

5.Enter the equation coefficients.

2 3

4

1 1

1 4

1 2

In this example, the matrix you created is listed as

M2.

6.Return to HOME and enter the calculation to left-multiply the constants vector by the inverse of the coefficients matrix.

M2

x –1

M1

The result is a vector of the solutions:

 

x = 2

 

y = 3

 

z = –2

 

An alternative method, is to use the RREF function. See

 

“RREF” on page 13-12.
