To solve the given system of equations, let's start by simplifying each equation. 1. The first equation is: \[-2x_1 + 4x_3 = 6\] We can isolate \(x_1\) by rearranging it: \[x_1 = 2x_3 - 3\] 2. The second equation is: \[4x_2 = 8\] This simplifies to: \[x_2 = 2\] Now, since \(x_3\) can take any real value (let's denote it as a free variable \(t\)), we can express the general solution as: \[ \left[\begin{array}{l} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{l} 2t - 3 \\ 2 \\ t \end{array}\right] \] where \(t\) is any real number. Now the solution can be represented with parameter \(t\): \[ \left[\begin{array}{l} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{l} 2t - 3 \\ 2 \\ t \end{array}\right] \quad \text{for } t \in \mathbb{R}. \] This yields the general solution to the system!
