Short Answer

Solve the linear system of equations. You may use technology.

|3x_1+6x_2+9x_3+5x_4+25x_5&=537x_1+14x_2+21x_3+9x_4+53x_5&=105-4x_1-8x_2-12x_3+5x_4-10x_5&=11|

For the given system of equation we have x2,x3,x5 are free variables and x1=134-2x2-3x3-5x5,x4=7-x5 .

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Augmented matrix

Solving system of equations using gauss Jordan’s elimination method.

First of all we will make the augmented matrix to the corresponding system of equations.

|3x_1+6x_2+9x_3+5x_4+25x_5&=537x_1+14x_2+21x_3+9x_4+53x_5&=105-4x_1-8x_2-12x_3+5x_4-10x_5&=11|

Step 3: Value of variables

Corresponding system of equations will be

x1+2x2+3x3+5x5=134x4+x5=7=x1=134-2x2-3x3-5x5x4=7-x5

Here,x2,x3,x5are free variables.

Let the value of x2,x3,x5=1 , x1=124,x4=6

Step 4: Final answer

For the given system of equation we have x2,x3,x5 are free variables and x1=134-2x2-3x3-5x5,x4=7-x5.
