6. Solve each of the following systems by Gaussian elimination. (a) \[ \begin{array}{l} 3 x+2 y-z=-15 \\ 5 x+3 y+2 z=0 \\ 3 x+y+3 z=11 \\ -6 x-4 y+2 z=30 \end{array} \] (b) \[ \begin{array}{l} w+2 x-y=4 \\ x-y=3 \\ w+3 x-2 y=7 \\ 2 u+4 v+w+7 x=7 \end{array} \] (c) \[ \begin{array}{l} 10 y-4 z+w=1 \\ x+4 y-z+w=2 \\ 3 x+2 y+z+2 w=5 \\ -2 x-8 y+2 z-2 w=-4 \\ x-6 y+3 z=1 \end{array} \] (d) \[ \begin{array}{l} y-z+2 w=0 \\ 3 x+2 y+w=0 \\ 2 x+4 w=12 \\ -2 x-2 z+5 w=6 \end{array} \]

1. Solve the system by Gaussian elimination. a) x - 2y + 3z = 9 -x + 3y = -4 2x - 5y + 5z = 17 b) 2x + 3y = 0 4x + 3y - z = 0 8x + 3y + 3z = 0 c) 2x + 3y = 0 4x + 3y - 2z = 0 8x + 3y - 3z = 9

Use the Gaussian elimination method to solve each system of equations. For systems in three variables with infinitely many solutions, write the solution set with z arbitrary. See $$ \begin{array}{r} x+2 y+z+w=2 \\ x-y+z-w=4 \\ 3 x+4 y+2 z-w=8 \\ 2 x+3 y+4 z+5 w=5 \end{array} $$
