Exercise 103

Avg difficulty 2.5

Solve (find all solutions), or show no solution exists

  1. 4x1+3x2=−15x1+6x2=4\begin{aligned} 4x_1+3x_2 & = -1 \\ 5x_1+6x_2 & = 4 \end{aligned}
  2. 5x+6y+5z=76x+8y+6z=−15x+2y+5z=2\begin{aligned} 5x+6y+5z & = 7 \\ 6x+8y+6z & = -1 \\ 5x+2y+5z & = 2 \end{aligned}
  3. a+5b+6c=−1a+5b+6c=−1−2a+5b+6c=8\begin{aligned} a+\phantom{5}b+\phantom{6}c & = -1 \\ a+5b+6c & = -1 \\ -2a+5b+6c & = 8 \end{aligned}
  4. −2x1+2x2+8x3=6x2+8x3=2x1+4x2+8x3=7\begin{aligned} -2 x_1+2x_2+8x_3 & = 6 \\ x_2+\phantom{8}x_3 & = 2 \\ x_1+4x_2+\phantom{8}x_3 & = 7 \end{aligned}
