Answer

The solution is $(3-1,5)$

Work Step by Step

The augmented matrix of the system is: $\begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &-1 |2\\ 4 &3 &-2| -1\\ 1& 4 & 1 |4 \end{bmatrix}$ with reduced row-echelon form: $\begin{bmatrix} 2 &-1 &-1 |2\\ 4 &3 &-2| -1\\ 1& 4 & 1 |4 \end{bmatrix} \approx^1 \begin{bmatrix} 1& 4 & 1 |4\\ 4 &3 &-2| -1\\ 2 &-1 &-1 |2 \end{bmatrix} \approx^2 \begin{bmatrix} 1& 4 & 1 |4\\ 0 &-13 &-6| -17\\ 0&-9&-3 |-6 \end{bmatrix} \approx^3 \begin{bmatrix} 1& 4 & 1 |4\\ 0&-9&-3 |-6\\ 0 &-13 &-6| -17 \end{bmatrix} \approx^4 \begin{bmatrix} 1& 4 & 1 |4\\ 0&1&\frac{1}{3} |\frac{2}{3}\\ 0 &-13 &-6| -17 \end{bmatrix} \approx^5 \begin{bmatrix} 1& 4 & 1 |4\\ 0&1&\frac{1}{3} |\frac{2}{3}\\ 0 &0 &-\frac{5}{3}|- \frac{25}{3} \end{bmatrix} \approx^6 \begin{bmatrix} 1& 4 & 0 |-1\\ 0&1&0 |-1\\ 0 &0 &-\frac{5}{3}|- \frac{25}{3} \end{bmatrix} \approx^7 \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0 & 0 |3\\ 0&1&0 |-1\\ 0 &0 &1|5 \end{bmatrix}$ $1.P_{13}$ $2.A_{12}(-4), A_{13}(-2)$ $3.P_{23}$ $4.M_2(-\frac{1}{9})$ $5.A_{23}(\frac{1}{13})$ $6.A_{31}(\frac{3}{5}), A_{32}(\frac{1}{5})$ $7.A_{21}(-4),M_3(-\frac{3}{5})$ This matrix is now in row-echelon form. The equivalent system is: $x_1=3$ $x_2=-1$ $x_3=5$ The solution is $(3-1,5)$
