How do you solve using gaussian elimination or gauss-jordan elimination, 2x + 2y - 3z = -2, 3x - 1 - 2z = 1, 2x + 3y - 5z = -3?

P=[(-2, 1, 0)]

Explanation:

I'm assuming that in the second row is missing y. Solving this matrix:

([2,2,-3,|,-2],[3,-1,-2,|,1],[2,3,-5,|,-3])
R_1=R_1xx3
R_2=R_2xx-2
R_3=R_3xx-3

([6,6,-9,|,-6],[-6,2,4,|,-2],[-6,-9,15,|,9])
R_2=R_2+R_1
R_3=R_3+R_1

([6,6,-9,|,-6],[0,8,-5,|,-8],[0,-3,6,|,3])
R_2=R_2xx3
R_3=R_3xx8

([6,6,-9,|,-6],[0,24,-15,|,-24],[0,-24,48,|,24])
R_3=R_3+R_2
R_1=R_1xx1/3

([2,2,-3,|,-2],[0,24,-15,|,-24],[0,0,33,|,0])
R_2=R_2xx1/3
R_3=R_3xx5/33

([2,2,-3,|,-2],[0,8,-5,|,8],[0,0,5,|,0])
R_2=R_2+R_3
R_3=R_3xx1/5

([2,2,-3,|,-2],[0,8,0,|,8],[0,0,1,|,0])
R_2=R_2xx1/8
R_1=R_1-2xxR_2
R_1=R_1+3xxR_3

([2,0,0,|,-4],[0,1,0,|,1],[0,0,1,|,0])
R_1=R_1xx1/2

([1,0,0,|,-2],[0,1,0,|,1],[0,0,1,|,0])

P=[(-2, 1, 0)]
