The augmented matrix does not contain a row in which the only nonzero entry appears in the last column. Therefore, this system of equations must be consistent. Convert the augmented matrix into a system of equantions. {x12x2=3x3=4x4=5
Solve for the leading entry for each individual equation. Determine thee free variables, if any. x1=3+2x2
x2, free
x3=4
x4=5
Parameterize the free variables. {x1=3+2x2x2=tx3=4x4=5
Write the solution in vector form. x=[3045]+t[2100]
Result: consistent: x=[3045]+t[2100]
