Answer

The system represented by the augmented matrix is $\left\{\begin{array}{llll} 5x & -3y & +z & =-2\\ 2x & -5y & +6z & =-2\\ -4x & +y & +4z & =6 \end{array}\right.$ Performing the row operations, $\rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} {1}&{7}&{-11}&{2}\\ {2}&{-5}&{6}&{-2}\\ {0}&{-9}&{16}&{2}\end{array}\right]$

The system represented by the augmented matrix is $\left\{\begin{array}{llll} 5x & -3y & +z & =-2\\ 2x & -5y & +6z & =-2\\ -4x & +y & +4z & =6 \end{array}\right.$ Performing the row operations, $R_{1}=-2r_{2}+r_{1}$ $R_{3}=2r_{2}+r_{3}$ $\left[\begin{array}{rrr|r} {5}&{-3}&{1}&{-2}\\ {2}&{-5}&{6}&{-2}\\ {-4}&{1}&{4}&{6}\end{array}\right]\rightarrow$ $\rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} {-2(2)+5} &{-2(-5)-3}&{-2(6)+1}&{-2(-2)-2}\\ {2} &{-5} &{6} &{-2}\\ {2(2)+(-4)}&{2(-5)+1}&{2(6)+4}&{2(-2)+6}\end{array}\right]$ $\rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} {1}&{7}&{-11}&{2}\\ {2}&{-5}&{6}&{-2}\\ {0}&{-9}&{16}&{2}\end{array}\right]$
