Question 1 [10 points]

Solve the following system of linear equations:

5x1+10x2+5x3 = 0
−3x1−5x2−5x3 = 12
−x1−4x3 = 19

If the system has no solution, demonstrate this by giving a row-echelon form of the augmented matrix for
the system.

You can resize a matrix (when appropriate) by clicking and dragging the bottom-right corner of the matrix.

The system has a unique solution
