A 33-sector economy has consumption matrix C=(0.10.20.30.30.10.20.20.30.1)C=\begin{pmatrix}0.1&0.2&0.3\\0.3&0.1&0.2\\0.2&0.3&0.1\end{pmatrix} (the fraction of each sector's output consumed by other sectors) and faces external demand d=(56,30,10)\mathbf d=(56,30,10). The production vector x\mathbf x satisfying (I−C)x=d(I-C)\mathbf x=\mathbf d tells each sector how much it must produce in total. Find x1x_1, sector 11's required output.
