Answer

The solution is $(0,0,0)$

Work Step by Step

The augmented matrix of the system is: $\begin{bmatrix} 3&3 &-1 |0\\ 2 &1 &1 | 0\\ 5& -4 & 1 |0 \end{bmatrix}$ with reduced row-echelon form: $\begin{bmatrix} 3&3 &-1 |0\\ 2 &1 &1 | 0\\ 5& -4 & 1 |0 \end{bmatrix} \approx^1 \begin{bmatrix} 1&1 &-2 |0\\ 0 &-1 &5 | 0\\ 0& -9 & 11 |0 \end{bmatrix} \approx^2 \begin{bmatrix} 1&1 &-2 |0\\ 0 &1 &-5 | 0\\ 0& -9 & 11 |0 \end{bmatrix} \approx^3 \begin{bmatrix} 1&0 &3 |0\\ 0 &1 &-5 | 0\\ 0& 0 & -34 |0 \end{bmatrix} \approx^4 \begin{bmatrix} 1&0 &3 |0\\ 0 &1 &-5 | 0\\ 0& 0 & 1|0 \end{bmatrix} \approx^5 \begin{bmatrix} 1&0 &0 |0\\ 0 &1 &0 | 0\\ 0& 0 & 1|0 \end{bmatrix}$ $1.A_{21}(-1), A_{12}(-2),A_{13}(-5)$ $2.M_2(-1)$ $3.A_{21}(-1),A_{23}(9)$ $4.M_4(-\frac{1}{34})$ $5.A_{31}(-3),A_{32}(5)$ This matrix is now in row-echelon form. The solution set is: $x_1=0$ $x_2=0$ $x_3=0$ The solution is $(0,0,0)$
