Answer

$\left\{ 5-13z,\ 5z,\ z \right\}$

Work Step by Step

We use the following steps: $\begin{align} x+2y+3z=5 & \\ y-5z=0 & \\ \end{align}$ Now converting it into an augmented matrix, we get, $\left[ \left. \begin{align} & \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \end{matrix} \\ & \begin{matrix} 0 & 1 & -5 \\ \end{matrix} \\ \end{align} \right|\begin{matrix} 5 \\ 0 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ Further we will solve the equations for values of $ x,y $ and $ z $. $\begin{align} & y=5z \\ & x=5-13z \\ & z=z \\ \end{align}$
