0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & -3 \\
0 & 0 & 3 & 1 & 6
\end{array}\right]\)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

Consider the following augmented matrix of the linear system:

\(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 6}&4&0&{ - 1}\\0&2&{ - 7}&0&4\\0&0&1&2&{ - 3}\\0&0&3&1&6\end{array}} \right)\)

Step 2 of 5

To solve the system, use the following row operation.

\({R_4} \to {R_4} - 3{R_3}\)

In words, change row 4 as add  -3 times row 3 to the row 4 as,

\(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 6}&4&0&{ - 1}\\0&2&{ - 7}&0&4\\0&0&1&2&{ - 3}\\0&0&3&{ - 5}&{15}\end{array}} \right)\)

In words, again change row 4 as -1/5 times row 4 as
