To solve this system of equations using the **Gauss-Jordan method**, we need to transform the given augmented matrix into **reduced row echelon form (RREF)**. The augmented matrix is:

\[
\begin{pmatrix}
2 & 3 & 5 & | & 6 \\
4 & -2 & 9 & | & -1 \\
6 & -2 & 4 & | & 3
\end{pmatrix}
\]

I will now apply the steps of the Gauss-Jordan elimination process to bring this matrix to RREF and check which of the options in the image corresponds to the correct solution.

Let's perform the calculations.The reduced row echelon form (RREF) of the given augmented matrix is:

\[
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 & \frac{193}{154} \\
0 & 1 & 0 & \frac{128}{77} \\
0 & 0 & 1 & -\frac{23}{77}
\end{pmatrix}
\]

This matches the last option in the image. Therefore, the correct answer is:

\[
\boxed{1 \ 0 \ 0 \ \frac{193}{154} \\
0 \ 1 \ 0 \ \frac{128}{77} \\
0 \ 0 \ 1 \ -\frac{23}{77}}
\]

Would you like more details on the Gauss-Jordan elimination steps?

Here are 5 related questions for practice:
1. What is the difference between Gaussian elimination and Gauss-Jordan elimination?
2. How can you determine if a system of equations has no solution using RREF?
3. How would the solution change if one of the rows in the system was all zeros?
4. Can you apply the Gauss-Jordan method to a non-square matrix?
5. What is the significance of pivot positions in a matrix?

**Tip:** When using the Gauss-Jordan method, always ensure that the leading coefficient in each row (the pivot) is 1 before proceeding to eliminate other entries in that column.
