The task in this image is to solve a system of linear equations using **Gaussian elimination**. Let's first extract the system from the image:

The system is:

\[
\begin{aligned}
1. & \quad x_1 - 2x_2 + x_4 = 0 \\
2. & \quad -x_1 - 3x_2 + 2x_3 = 0 \\
3. & \quad -3x_4 = 0 \\
4. & \quad -3x_1 - x_3 - x_4 = 0 \\
5. & \quad -5x_1 - x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = 0 \\
\end{aligned}
\]

### Step 1: Write the system in augmented matrix form:

\[
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & -2 & 0 & 1 & | & 0 \\
-1 & -3 & 2 & 0 & | & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & -3 & | & 0 \\
-3 & 0 & -1 & -1 & | & 0 \\
-5 & -1 & 1 & 1 & | & 0
\end{pmatrix}
\]

I will now apply Gaussian elimination to this system to solve it. Let's proceed with that.The augmented matrix has rank 4, which means there are 4 linearly independent rows in the system. 

Now, let's proceed by applying Gaussian elimination to transform the matrix into its **row echelon form** (REF) and solve the system step by step.After the first round of Gaussian elimination, the augmented matrix looks like this:

\[
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & -2 & 0 & 1 & | & 0 \\
0 & -5 & 2 & 1 & | & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & -3 & | & 0 \\
0 & -6 & -1 & 2 & | & 0 \\
0 & -11.56 & 1.22 & 6.11 & | & 0 \\
\end{pmatrix}
\]

The matrix has been partially reduced. We can now continue the process to further reduce the matrix and solve the system. I'll finish the Gaussian elimination process next.After continuing the Gaussian elimination process, the matrix is now in the following form:

\[
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & -2 & 0 & 1 & | & 0 \\
0 & 1 & -0.4 & -0.2 & | & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & -3 & | & 0 \\
0 & 0 & -3.4 & 0.8 & | & 0 \\
0 & 0 & -3.4 & 3.8 & | & 0 \\
\end{pmatrix}
\]

At this point, we can continue the process to achieve the reduced row echelon form and then extract the solution. Let's proceed with the next steps to solve for the variables.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

In the meantime, I can guide you through the rest of the steps manually if you'd like or help with any questions you have regarding Gaussian elimination or similar systems.

Would you like to continue that way or try again later?

Here are 5 related questions you might find useful:
1. How do you identify pivots in Gaussian elimination?
2. What happens if a row in the matrix contains all zeros?
3. Can a system of equations have no solutions or infinite solutions?
4. How is Gaussian elimination different from Gauss-Jordan elimination?
5. What is the role of augmented matrices in solving linear systems?

**Tip**: Always check for consistency in a system of equations by analyzing the row echelon form for contradictions (like a row of zeros equating to a nonzero value).

Solve the system of linear equations using Gaussian elimination and verify if the obtained solution is indeed a solution of the system.
