We give the system of equations to the canonical form $$2 x_{1} - 3 x_{2} - x_{3} = 4$$ $$x_{1} + x_{2} - 3 x_{3} = -3$$ $$3 x_{1} + 2 x_{2} + x_{3} = 2$$ Rewrite the system of linear equations as the matrix form $$\left[\begin{matrix}2 x_{1} - 3 x_{2} - x_{3}\\x_{1} + x_{2} - 3 x_{3}\\3 x_{1} + 2 x_{2} + x_{3}\end{matrix}\right] = \left[\begin{matrix}4\\-3\\2\end{matrix}\right]$$ - this is the system of equations that has the form A*x = B
Let´s find a solution of this matrix equations using Cramer´s rule:
Since the determinant of the matrix: $$A = \operatorname{det}{\left(\left[\begin{matrix}2 & -3 & -1\\1 & 1 & -3\\3 & 2 & 1\end{matrix}\right] \right)} = 45$$ , then The root xi is obtained by dividing the determinant of the matrix Ai. by the determinant of the matrix A. ( Ai we get it by replacement in the matrix A i-th column with column B ) $$x_{1} = \frac{\operatorname{det}{\left(\left[\begin{matrix}4 & -3 & -1\\-3 & 1 & -3\\2 & 2 & 1\end{matrix}\right] \right)}}{45} = 1$$ $$x_{2} = \frac{\operatorname{det}{\left(\left[\begin{matrix}2 & 4 & -1\\1 & -3 & -3\\3 & 2 & 1\end{matrix}\right] \right)}}{45} = -1$$ $$x_{3} = \frac{\operatorname{det}{\left(\left[\begin{matrix}2 & -3 & 4\\1 & 1 & -3\\3 & 2 & 2\end{matrix}\right] \right)}}{45} = 1$$
Gaussian elimination
Given the system of equations $$- x_{3} + \left(2 x_{1} - 3 x_{2}\right) = 4$$ $$- 3 x_{3} + \left(x_{1} + x_{2}\right) = -3$$ $$x_{3} + \left(3 x_{1} + 2 x_{2}\right) = 2$$

Let’s subtract it from this line: $$\left[\begin{matrix}1 - \frac{2}{2} & 1 - - \frac{3}{2} & -3 - - \frac{1}{2} & -3 - \frac{4}{2}\end{matrix}\right] = \left[\begin{matrix}0 & \frac{5}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} & -5\end{matrix}\right]$$ you get $$\left[\begin{matrix}2 & -3 & -1 & 4\\0 & \frac{5}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} & -5\\3 & 2 & 1 & 2\end{matrix}\right]$$ From 3 -th line. Let’s subtract it from this line: $$\left[\begin{matrix}3 - \frac{2 \cdot 3}{2} & 2 - - \frac{9}{2} & 1 - - \frac{3}{2} & 2 - \frac{3 \cdot 4}{2}\end{matrix}\right] = \left[\begin{matrix}0 & \frac{13}{2} & \frac{5}{2} & -4\end{matrix}\right]$$ you get $$\left[\begin{matrix}2 & -3 & -1 & 4\\0 & \frac{5}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} & -5\\0 & \frac{13}{2} & \frac{5}{2} & -4\end{matrix}\right]$$ In 2 -th column $$\left[\begin{matrix}-3\\\frac{5}{2}\\\frac{13}{2}\end{matrix}\right]$$ let’s convert all the elements, except 2 -th element into zero. - To do this, let’s take 2 -th line $$\left[\begin{matrix}0 & \frac{5}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} & -5\end{matrix}\right]$$ , and subtract it from other lines: From 1 -th line. Let’s subtract it from this line: $$\left[\begin{matrix}2 - \frac{\left(-6\right) 0}{5} & -3 - \frac{\left(-6\right) 5}{2 \cdot 5} & - \frac{\left(-6\right) \left(-1\right) 5}{2 \cdot 5} - 1 & 4 - - -6\end{matrix}\right] = \left[\begin{matrix}2 & 0 & -4 & -2\end{matrix}\right]$$ you get $$\left[\begin{matrix}2 & 0 & -4 & -2\\0 & \frac{5}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} & -5\\0 & \frac{13}{2} & \frac{5}{2} & -4\end{matrix}\right]$$ From 3 -th line. Let’s subtract it from this line: $$\left[\begin{matrix}- \frac{0 \cdot 13}{5} & \frac{13}{2} - \frac{5 \cdot 13}{2 \cdot 5} & \frac{5}{2} - - \frac{13}{2} & -4 - - 13\end{matrix}\right] = \left[\begin{matrix}0 & 0 & 9 & 9\end{matrix}\right]$$ you get $$\left[\begin{matrix}2 & 0 & -4 & -2\\0 & \frac{5}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} & -5\\0 & 0 & 9 & 9\end{matrix}\right]$$ In 3 -th column $$\left[\begin{matrix}-4\\- \frac{5}{2}\\9\end{matrix}\right]$$ let’s convert all the elements, except 3 -th element into zero. - To do this, let’s take 3 -th line $$\left[\begin{matrix}0 & 0 & 9 & 9\end{matrix}\right]$$ , and subtract it from other lines: From 1 -th line. Let’s subtract it from this line: $$\left[\begin{matrix}2 - \frac{\left(-4\right) 0}{9} & - \frac{\left(-4\right) 0}{9} & -4 - \frac{\left(-4\right) 9}{9} & -2 - \frac{\left(-4\right) 9}{9}\end{matrix}\right] = \left[\begin{matrix}2 & 0 & 0 & 2\end{matrix}\right]$$ you get $$\left[\begin{matrix}2 & 0 & 0 & 2\\0 & \frac{5}{2} & - \frac{5}{2} & -5\\0 & 0 & 9 & 9\end{matrix}\right]$$ From 2 -th line.
