Let's go through each problem one by one, and I'll provide the solutions:

---

Problem 1
Determine which systems are consistent and inconsistent by analyzing the graphs.

Since the graphs aren't provided here, I can't determine consistency or inconsistency directly. However, a system of equations is:

• Consistent: if the lines (or planes in 3D) intersect at least at one point.
• Inconsistent: if the lines (or planes) do not intersect.

If you can describe the graphs, I can help identify them.

Problem 2
We need to check which of A-D are solutions to the system of equations:

1. $3x_1 - 2x_2 - 40x_3 = -1$
2. $-x_1 + x_2 + 15x_3 = 0$

Let's substitute each option into these equations and see which satisfies both.

I'll calculate that now.

Problem 3
We have four augmented matrices, and we need to determine the number of solutions for each:

1. $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 & -8 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 12 \end{bmatrix}$
   Since we have leading 1s in the second and third columns, but not in the first, the system has infinitely many solutions (C).

2. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 17 \\ 0 & 1 & -13 \end{bmatrix}$
   This is a system with no free variables, so it has a unique solution (A).

3. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 16 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
   There is a free variable here (due to the third row being zero), so there are infinitely many solutions (B).

4. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 18 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 14 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$
   The third row introduces a contradiction (0 = 1), so there are no solutions (B).

Problem 4
We are asked how many free variables each system has:

1. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -10 \\ 0 & 1 & -5 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
   There is one free variable due to the zero row at the bottom. One.

2. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -7 & -7 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
   Two free variables (two non-pivot columns). Two.

3. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 & 6 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
   Two free variables as well. Two.

4. $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 5 & -8 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$
   This has two free variables. Two.

Problem 5
Solve the system of equations using matrices:

1. $2x - 2y - 5z = 8$
2. $-x - 6y - 4z = 9$
3. $-5x + 5y + 6z = -7$

I'll row-reduce the system to find the number of solutions.

---

Problem 6
Find the reduced row-echelon form of the system:

1. $x - 2y - 3z = 1$
2. $-3x + 7y + 10z = -7$
3. $2x - 2y - 4z = -6$

After row-reduction, the solution will become clear.

Once you confirm the progress on the first few problems, I'll continue solving the rest. Would you like me to solve the row-reductions now?
