b) 6x - 4y + 8z = 112
-5x - 3y + 7z = 75
14x + 9y 5z = -67
c) 8x + y + 6z = 7.5
3x + 5y + 7z = 4
4x + 9y + 2z = 12
9. Write a script M-file that converts a user input temperature in Fahrenheit to Celsius and
displays the result. Check your script with the following data: [72 68 75 77 83 79].
Temperature in Celsius = 5/9*(Temperature in Fahrenheit 32)
10. Write a script M-file that converts a user input pressure in psi to bar and displays the
result. Pressure in bar = Pressure in psi/14.503774
