# Not Sure How to Solve A System Of Linear Equations In MAPLE13

How can one solve the following system of linear equations in MAPLE 13?I know how to solve a linear equation with one variable floating around but not this one. $$x-2y+3z=10$$ $$3x-2y+z=2$$ $$4x+5y+2z=29$$ Any help would be greatly appreciated.

eq1 := x-2*y+3*z = 10; eq2 := 3*x-2*y+z=2; eq3 := 4*x+5*y+2*z = 29; solve({eq1,eq2,eq3},{x,y,z});

 Great.Thanks.Is there any way of telling maple to show steps? – alok Jan 18 at 11:00 Since it's home work, this is the point where you should consult a good book on linear algebra... You should then be able to explain how Maple gets to the solution. – GertVdE Jan 18 at 11:03 I'am trying to solve $$eqn1 := x-6*y+7*z = 7; eqn2 := 4*x-5*y+9*z = 8; eqn3 := -2*x+4*y+5*z = 10; solve({eq1, eq2, eq3}, {x, y, z})$$,and i get $$x = 1, y = 3, z = 5$$ as solution which is completely wrong.What should i do? – alok Jan 18 at 11:21 @alok you did not put curly braces around your equation set and your unknown set. see my answer – GertVdE Jan 18 at 14:19 @alok: As far as I'm aware, you can't ask maple to show the intermediary steps between the problem setup and the solution. You can illustrate the intermediary steps yourself by multiplying the matrix and right hand side vector by elementary matrices that produce the row operations. But this must be done manually. – Paul♦ Jan 18 at 17:16
