The correct Answer is:
To solve the system of equations given by: 1. \( x_1 + 3x_2 + 9x_3 = 27 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( x_1 + 5x_2 + 25x_3 = 125 \) (Equation 2) 3. \( x_1 + 7x_2 + 49x_3 = 343 \) (Equation 3) we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 We will subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 to eliminate \( x_1 \). \[ (x_1 + 5x_2 + 25x_3) - (x_1 + 3x_2 + 9x_3) = 125 - 27 \] This simplifies to: \[ (5x_2 - 3x_2) + (25x_3 - 9x_3) = 98 \] \[ 2x_2 + 16x_3 = 98 \] Dividing through by 2 gives: \[ x_2 + 8x_3 = 49 \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] ### Step 2: Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 3 Next, we subtract Equation 2 from Equation 3: \[ (x_1 + 7x_2 + 49x_3) - (x_1 + 5x_2 + 25x_3) = 343 - 125 \] This simplifies to: \[ (7x_2 - 5x_2) + (49x_3 - 25x_3) = 218 \] \[ 2x_2 + 24x_3 = 218 \] Dividing through by 2 gives: \[ x_2 + 12x_3 = 109 \quad \text{(Equation 5)} \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( x_2 \) and \( x_3 \) Now we have two new equations: 1. \( x_2 + 8x_3 = 49 \) (Equation 4) 2. \( x_2 + 12x_3 = 109 \) (Equation 5) Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 5: \[ (x_2 + 12x_3) - (x_2 + 8x_3) = 109 - 49 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x_3 = 60 \] Thus, we find: \[ x_3 = 15 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( x_3 \) back to find \( x_2 \) Substituting \( x_3 = 15 \) into Equation 4: \[ x_2 + 8(15) = 49 \] \[ x_2 + 120 = 49 \] \[ x_2 = 49 - 120 = -71 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( x_2 \) and \( x_3 \) back to find \( x_1 \) Now substitute \( x_2 = -71 \) and \( x_3 = 15 \) into Equation 1: \[ x_1 + 3(-71) + 9(15) = 27 \] \[ x_1 - 213 + 135 = 27 \] \[ x_1 - 78 = 27 \] \[ x_1 = 27 + 78 = 105 \] ### Summary of Values We have: - \( x_1 = 105 \) - \( x_2 = -71 \) - \( x_3 = 15 \) ### Step 6: Check the Options Now we check the options given in the problem: 1. **Number of divisors of \( x_1 + x_3 \)**: \[ x_1 + x_3 = 105 + 15 = 120 \] The prime factorization of 120 is \( 2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 \). The number of divisors is \( (3+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 4 \times 2 \times 2 = 16 \). 2. **Is \( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} \) a prime number?**: \[ x_1 + x_2 = 105 - 71 = 34 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{34}{2} = 17 \] 17 is a prime number. 3. **Is \( x_3 - x_2 \) a prime number?**: \[ x_3 - x_2 = 15 - (-71) = 15 + 71 = 86 \] 86 is not a prime number. 4. **Is \( x_1 + x_2 + x_3 \) a square of an integer?**: \[ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 105 - 71 + 15 = 49 \] 49 is \( 7^2 \), which is a perfect square. ### Conclusion The correct options are 1, 2, and 4.

To solve the system of equations given by: 1. \( x_1 + 3x_2 + 9x_3 = 27 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( x_1 + 5x_2 + 25x_3 = 125 \) (Equation 2) 3. \( x_1 + 7x_2 + 49x_3 = 343 \) (Equation 3) we will follow these steps: ...
