I\'m completely stumped by this one, so any help would definitely be much appreciated.

Solve the linear system whose augmented matrix is given by (1 3 5 7 3 5 7 9 5 7 9 1)

Solution

The given augmented matrix first 3 columns represent the coefficients of the variables and the last column is the right hand side

Ax =b is written as A and then b

We can do row operations to solve this

	1	3	5	7
	3	5	7	9
	5	7	9	1
R2-R1 =R1 and R3-R2 =R3
	1	3	5	7
	2	2	2	2
	2	2	2	-8
R2-R3=R3
	1	3	5	7
	2	2	2	2
	0	0	0	10
	Thus we get 0 =10
	So the system is inconsistent and no solution exists for this.
