Math Problem Statement
Solve the equivalent system that corresponds to the row echelon matrix.
Solution
The matrix you’ve provided is in row echelon form. The next step is to write out the equivalent system of linear equations. Each row in the matrix corresponds to one equation in the system.
Here's the matrix you've provided:
1 & 3 & 4 & | & 47 & -\frac{1}{2} \\ 0 & 1 & 10 & | & 9 & 2 \\ 0 & 6 & 1 & | & 9 & 123 \\ \end{bmatrix}$$ This matrix corresponds to the system of equations: 1. $$x + 3y + 4z = 47$$ 2. $$y + 10z = 9$$ 3. $$6y + z = 123$$ To solve this system, we can use substitution or back substitution. Let's first work with the second equation to express $$y$$ in terms of $$z$$: From equation (2): $$y + 10z = 9 \implies y = 9 - 10z$$ Now, substitute $$y = 9 - 10z$$ into equation (3): $$6(9 - 10z) + z = 123$$ Simplify and solve for $$z$$, then substitute back to find $$y$$ and $$x$$.
