ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

Given system of linear equations is

The given system is equivalent to

Now, we add -3 times the first equation to the second equation and -2 times the first equation to the third equation to eliminate . It follows,

Now, we add -4 times the third equation to the second equation and 2 times the third equation to the first equation to eliminate . It gives,

It implies

Hence, the solution of the given system is
