1.1.1 x + 3y = 1<br />

4x − y = 3 , Solution is: [ x = 10<br />

13 ,y = 1 13]<br />

.<br />

1.1.2 3x + y = 3<br />

x + 2y = 1<br />

, Solution is: [x = 1,y = 0]<br />

1.2.1 x + 3y = 1<br />

4x − y = 3 , Solution is: [ x = 10<br />

13 ,y = 13<br />

1.2.4 ⎡ No solution⎤<br />

exists. You can see this ⎡ by writ<strong>in</strong>g the ⎤ augmented matrix and do<strong>in</strong>g row operations.<br />

1 1 −3 2<br />

1 0 4 0<br />

⎣ 2 1 1 1 ⎦, row echelon form: ⎣ 0 1 −7 0 ⎦. Thus one of the equations says 0 = 1<strong>in</strong>an<br />

3 2 −2 0<br />

0 0 0 1<br />

equivalent system of equations.<br />

1.2.5<br />

4g − I = 150<br />

4I − 17g = −660<br />

4g + s = 290<br />

g + I + s − b = 0<br />

, Solution is : {g = 60,I = 90,b = 200,s = 50}<br />

1.2.6 The solution exists but is not unique.<br />

1.2.7 A solution exists and is unique.<br />

1.2.9 There might be a solution. If so, there are <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>itely many.<br />

1.2.10 No. Consider x + y + z = 2andx + y + z = 1.<br />

1.2.11 These can have a solution. For example, x + y = 1,2x + 2y = 2,3x + 3y = 3evenhasan<strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>iteset<br />

of solutions.<br />
