Answer

$\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1&1& 3\\ 0&1&-2&-1& 0 \\ 0 & 2& 1& 2&5\\ 0&6&-3&-1&-9 \end{array}\right]$.

Work Step by Step

The given augmented matrix is $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1&1& 3\\ 0&1&-2&-1& 0 \\ 2 & 0& 3& 4&11\\ 5&1&2&4&6 \end{array}\right]$ Perform $R_3\rightarrow -2R_1+R_3$ and $R_4\rightarrow -5R_1+R_4$. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1&1& 3\\ 0&1&-2&-1& 0 \\ -2(1)+2 & -2(-1)+0& -2(1)+3& -2(1)+4&-2(3)+11\\ -5(1)+5&-5(-1)+1&-5(1)+2&-5(1)+4&-5(3)+6 \end{array}\right]$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1&1& 3\\ 0&1&-2&-1& 0 \\ 0 & 2& 1& 2&5\\ 0&6&-3&-1&-9 \end{array}\right]$.
