Use the row operations tool to solve the following system of equations, obtaining the solutions in fraction form.

15x + 13y + 4z = 8
11x + 13y + 9z = 1
3x + 5y + 7z = -5
8x + 8y + 2z = 6
7x + 5y + 2z = 2
Give the values for x, y, and z with the fractions reduced to lowest terms (for example 1/2 rather than 3/6).
x =
y =

Answer:

[tex]x=-\frac{7}{26}, y=\frac{37}{26}, z=-\frac{21}{13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The matrix representation of the system of linear equations is:

[tex]\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}15&13&4&\vdots&8\\11&13&9&\vdots&1\\3&5&7&\vdots&-5\\8&8&2&\vdots&6\\7&5&2&\vdots&2\end{array}\right)[/tex]

First apply the following row operations:

[tex]\begin{array}{c}R_{2}\to R_{2}+(-\frac{11}{15})R_{1}\\R_{3}\to R_{3}+(-\frac{1}{5})R_{1}\\R_{4}\to R_{4}+(-\frac{8}{15})R_{1}\\R_{5}\to R_{5}+(-\frac{7}{15})R_{1}\end{array}[/tex]

The resulting matrix is:

[tex]\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}15&13&4&\vdots&8\\0&\frac{52}{15}&\frac{91}{15}&\vdots&-\frac{73}{15}\\0&\frac{12}{5}&\frac{31}{5}&\vdots&-\frac{33}{5}\\0&\frac{16}{15}&-\frac{2}{15}&\vdots&\frac{26}{15}\\0&-\frac{16}{15}&\frac{2}{15}&\vdots&-\frac{26}{15}\end{array}\right)[/tex]

Then apply  the row operations:

[tex]\begin{array}{c}R_{3}\to R_{3}+(-\frac{12}{5}\cdot \frac{15}{52})R_{2}\\R_{4}\to R_{4}+(-\frac{-16}{15}\cdot \frac{15}{52})R_{2}\\R_{5}\to R_{5}+(\frac{16}{15}\cdot \frac{15}{52})R_{2}\end{array}[/tex]

The resulting matrix is:

[tex]\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}15&13&4&\vdots&8\\0&\frac{52}{15}&\frac{91}{15}&\vdots&-\frac{73}{15}\\0&0&2&\vdots&-\frac{42}{13}\\0&0&-2&\vdots&\frac{42}{13}\\0&0&2&\vdots&-\frac{42}{13}\end{array}\right)[/tex]

Now apply the row operations:

[tex]\begin{array}{c} R_{4}\to R_{4}+R_{3}\\R_{5}\to R_{5}+(-1)R_{3}\end{array}[/tex]

The resulting matrix is:

[tex]\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}15&13&4&\vdots&8\\0&\frac{52}{15}&\frac{91}{15}&\vdots&-\frac{73}{15}\\0&0&2&\vdots&-\frac{42}{13}\\0&0&0&\vdots&0\\0&0&0&\vdots&0\end{array} \right)[/tex]

The equivalent linear system associated to this matrix is

[tex]\begin{cases}15x+13y+4z=8\\\frac{52}{15}y+\frac{91}{15}z=-\frac{73}{15}\\2z=-\frac{42}{13}\end{cases}[/tex]

To Solve this last system is very simple by substitution. The solutions are:

[tex]x=-\frac{7}{26}, y=\frac{37}{26}, z=-\frac{21}{13}[/tex]
