For the system of equations that follows, use Gaussian elimination to obtain an equivalent system whose coefficient matrix is in

row echelon form. Indicate whether the system is consistent. If the system is consistent and involves no free variables, use back substitution to find the unique solution. If the system is consistent and there are free variables, transform it to reduced row echelon form and find all solutions.
x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃ + x₄ = 3;
2x₁ - 2x₂ + x₃ + 2x₄ = 8;
x₁ - 5x₂ + x₄ = 5

Answer:

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

System of equations given as

x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃ + x₄ = 3;

2x₁ - 2x₂ + x₃ + 2x₄ = 8;

x₁ - 5x₂ + x₄ = 5

Matrix form

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}  \begin{Vmatrix}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{Vmatrix}

Generally the echelon reduction is mathematically applied as

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & -8 & -1&0&2\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Multiply the 2nd row by -1/8  

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Add -1 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & -41/8 & 1& 21/4\end{Vmatrix}

Multiply the 3rd row by -8/41

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Add -1/8 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row

Add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 0&49/41&165/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Add -3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Answer:

Value of w = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AB= 4w-4

BC = 2w-8

AC = 24

Find:

Value of w

Computation:

AB + BC = AC

4w - 4 + 2w - 8 = 24

6w - 12 = 24

6w = 24 + 12

6w = 36

w = 6

Value of w = 6

Betty likes to skate at a skate park that is due south of her school and due west of her
AURORKA [14]
The answer will be 12+13 because the skatepark is 12km from school and her favorite game store was 13 km so it’s 12+13=25km
