To solve the system of equations using Gaussian elimination, let's set up the augmented matrix: \[ \begin{pmatrix} -25 & -3 & | & -113 \\ 10 & 1 & | & 46 \end{pmatrix} \] Now, we will perform row operations to reach row echelon form. We'll multiply the first row by \( -\frac{1}{25} \) to simplify it: \[ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \frac{3}{25} & | & \frac{113}{25} \\ 10 & 1 & | & 46 \end{pmatrix} \] Next, we want to eliminate \( 10 \) in the second row's first column. We can do this by replacing the second row with \( R_2 - 10R_1 \): \[ R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - 10R_1 \] So we calculate it as follows: \[ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \frac{3}{25} & | & \frac{113}{25} \\ 0 & 1 - 10\left(\frac{3}{25}\right) & | & 46 - 10\left(\frac{113}{25}\right) \end{pmatrix} \] Calculating the second row gives us: \[ 1 - \frac{30}{25} = 1 - 1.2 = -0.2 = -\frac{1}{5} \] And: \[ 46 - \frac{1130}{25} = \frac{1150 - 1130}{25} = \frac{20}{25} = \frac{4}{5} \] Now the augmented matrix looks like: \[ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \frac{3}{25} & | & \frac{113}{25} \\ 0 & -\frac{1}{5} & | & \frac{4}{5} \end{pmatrix} \] To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply the second row by \(-5\): \[ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \frac{3}{25} & | & \frac{113}{25} \\ 0 & 1 & | & -4 \end{pmatrix} \] Now, we can substitute back. Let's express \( y \): From Row 2: \[ y = -4 \] Substituting \( y = -4 \) back into the first equation from the original system: \[ 10x - 4 = 46 \implies 10x = 46 + 4 \implies 10x = 50 \implies x = 5 \] Thus the solution to the system is: The solution to the system of equations is \( (5, -4) \). A. There is only one solution. The solution to the system of equations is (5, -4).
