Forming Δ\Delta

Δ=∣1112−1112−1∣=1(1−2)−1(−2−1)+1(4+1)=−1+3+5=7\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&1\\2&-1&1\\1&2&-1\end{vmatrix}=1(1-2)-1(-2-1)+1(4+1)=-1+3+5=7

Since Δ≠0\Delta\neq0, a unique solution exists.

Forming Δx\Delta_x

Δx=∣9115−1142−1∣=9(1−2)−1(−5−4)+1(10+4)=−9+9+14=14\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}9&1&1\\5&-1&1\\4&2&-1\end{vmatrix}=9(1-2)-1(-5-4)+1(10+4)=-9+9+14=14

Forming Δy\Delta_y

Δy=∣19125114−1∣=1(−5−4)−9(−2−1)+1(8−5)=−9+27+3=21\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}1&9&1\\2&5&1\\1&4&-1\end{vmatrix}=1(-5-4)-9(-2-1)+1(8-5)=-9+27+3=21

Forming Δz\Delta_z

Δz=∣1192−15124∣=1(−4−10)−1(8−5)+9(4+1)=−14−3+45=28\Delta_z=\begin{vmatrix}1&1&9\\2&-1&5\\1&2&4\end{vmatrix}=1(-4-10)-1(8-5)+9(4+1)=-14-3+45=28
