Solution

To solve the system of linear equations using the Gauss elimination method, we first represent the system in augmented matrix form and then perform row operations to convert the matrix to upper triangular form. Finally, we'll solve for the variables by back-substitution.

Given the system of equations:

1. & \quad x_1 + x_2 + 54x_3 = 110 \\ 2. & \quad 6x_1 + 15x_2 + 2x_3 = 72 \\ 3. & \quad 27x_1 + 6x_2 - x_3 = 85 \\ \end{aligned}$$ ### Step 1: Write the augmented matrix $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 54 & | & 110 \\ 6 & 15 & 2 & | & 72 \\ 27 & 6 & -1 & | & 85 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Perform row operations to get an upper triangular matrix 1. Subtract 6 times the first row from the second row: $$R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - 6R_1$$ $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 54 & | & 110 \\ 0 & 9 & -322 & | & -588 \\ 27 & 6 & -1 & | & 85 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ 2. Subtract 27 times the first row from the third row: $$R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - 27R_1$$ $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 54 & | & 110 \\ 0 & 9 & -322 & | & -588 \\ 0 & -21 & -1459 & | & -2885 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ 3. Subtract $$\frac{-21}{9}$$ times the second row from the third row to eliminate the second variable in the third row: $$R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - \frac{-21}{9}R_2$$ $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 54 & | & 110 \\ 0 & 9 & -322 & | & -588 \\ 0 & 0 & -221 & | & -1969 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 3: Back-substitution Now that we have an upper triangular matrix, we can solve for the variables: 1. From the third row: $$-221x_3 = -1969 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x_3 = \frac{1969}{221} = \frac{1969}{221} \approx 8.91$$ 2. From the second row: $$9x_2 - 322x_3 = -588 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 9x_2 = -588 + 322\left(\frac{1969}{221}\right) \quad \Rightarrow \quad x_2 = \frac{-588 + 2872}{9} = \frac{2284}{9} = 253.78$$ 3. From the first row: $$x_1 + x_2 + 54x_3 = 110 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x_1 = 110 - 54\left(\frac{1969}{221}\right) - \frac{2284}{9}$$ I can proceed to complete the calculation if you wish to see each variable in terms of fractions. Would you like the exact fractional results for $$x_1$$, $$x_2$$, and $$x_3$$?
