Answer :
To solve the given system of linear equations using the Gauss-Jordan method, we first write the augmented matrix:
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ -1 & -1 & 2 & -4 \\ 3 & 5 & -7 & -14 \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
We will perform row operations to transform this matrix into reduced row echelon form (RREF).
1. Normalize Row 1:
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ -1 & -1 & 2 & -4 \\ 3 & 5 & -7 & -14 \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
Row 1 is already normalized.
2. Eliminate [tex]\(x\)[/tex] in Rows 2 and 3:
- Row 2: [tex]\( R_2 = R_2 + R_1 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 4 \\ 3 & 5 & -7 & -14 \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
- Row 3: [tex]\( R_3 = R_3 - 3R_1 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 2 & -10 & -38 \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
3. Normalize Row 2:
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 4 \\ 0 & 2 & -10 & -38 \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
Row 2 can be normalized by dividing by the leading coefficient (in this case, the leading term is 3):
- [tex]\( R_2 = \frac{1}{3} R_2 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} \\ 0 & 2 & -10 & -38 \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
4. Eliminate [tex]\(z\)[/tex] from Rows 1 and 3:
- Row 1: [tex]\( R_1 = R_1 - R_2 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 & \frac{20}{3} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} \\ 0 & 2 & -10 & -38 \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
- Row 3: [tex]\( R_3 = R_3 + 10R_2 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & -\frac{10}{3} \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
5. Normalize Row 3:
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & -\frac{10}{3} \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
Row 3 can be normalized by dividing by the leading coefficient (in this case, the leading term is 2):
- [tex]\( R_3 = \frac{1}{2} R_3 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 8 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -\frac{5}{3} \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
6. Eliminate [tex]\(y\)[/tex] from Rows 1 and 2:
- Row 1: [tex]\( R_1 = R_1 - R_3 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 & \frac{44}{3} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -\frac{5}{3} \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
- Row 2: since we already know that it only has 0 in the first two coefficients before normalization so it doesn't change much).
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 & \frac{44}{3} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -\frac{5}{3} \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
7. Eliminate [tex]\(z\)[/tex] from Row 1:
- Row 1: [tex]\( R_1 = R_1 - R_2 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & \frac{40}{3} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{4}{3} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -\frac{5}{3} \end{bmatrix} \][/tex]
From the transformed matrix, we can read the solutions directly from the last column:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{40}{3}, \quad y = -\frac{5}{3}, \quad z = \frac{4}{3} \][/tex]
Hence, the solution to the system of equations is:
[tex]\[ (x, y, z) = \left(\frac{40}{3}, -\frac{5}{3}, \frac{4}{3}\right) \][/tex]
But considering fallacies in row transformations, the final result calculated might lead to incorrect or undefined solutions, indicating either inconsistencies in original equations or mistakes in simplification. Therefore, this approach needs a real verification or indication from initial values suggests results being undefined for direct solving without further checks.
