Given A = and B = verify that BA = 6I, use the result to solve the
system x – y = 3, 2x + 3y + 4z = 17, y + 2z = 7.
33 The sum of three numbers is 6. If we multiply third number by 3 and add second
number to it, we get 11. By adding first and third numbers, we get double of the 6
second number. Represent it algebraically and find the numbers using matrix
method.
