QUESTION 1

Given the system of linear equations as:

 a b c  x1   e 
    
 7 3 d  x2    f 
 2 2 3  x   10 
  3   

where

a – The first digit of your matrix number

b – The second digit of your matrix number
c – The third digit of your matrix number
d – The last two digits of your matrix number
e – The first two digits of your matrix number
f – The negative value of e/2

For example, a student with the matrix number CD150079 will have the values of a = 1,
b = 5, c = 0, d = 79, e = 15 and f = -7.5.

a. Solve the system of linear equations using Crout method.
