The correct Answer is:
To determine the nature of the solutions for the given system of linear equations, we will analyze the equations step by step. ### Given Equations: 1. \( x_1 + 2x_2 + x_3 = 3 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 2x_1 + 3x_2 + x_3 = 3 \) (Equation 2) 3. \( 3x_1 + 5x_2 + 2x_3 = 1 \) (Equation 3) ### Step 1: Write the equations in matrix form We can represent the system of equations in matrix form as: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \\ 3 & 5 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 3 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 2: Form the augmented matrix The augmented matrix for the system is: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 & | & 3 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 & | & 3 \\ 3 & 5 & 2 & | & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 3: Perform row operations We will perform row operations to simplify the augmented matrix. 1. **R2 = R2 - 2R1**: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 & | & 3 \\ 0 & -1 & -1 & | & -3 \\ 3 & 5 & 2 & | & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] 2. **R3 = R3 - 3R1**: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 & | & 3 \\ 0 & -1 & -1 & | & -3 \\ 0 & -1 & -1 & | & -8 \end{bmatrix} \] 3. **R3 = R3 - R2**: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 & | & 3 \\ 0 & -1 & -1 & | & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & | & -5 \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the last row The last row of the augmented matrix is: \[ 0x_1 + 0x_2 + 0x_3 = -5 \] This is a contradiction because it implies that \(0 = -5\), which is not possible. ### Conclusion Since we have reached a contradiction, the system of equations has no solution. ### Final Answer The system of linear equations has **no solution**. ---
