Q. Solve the following system of linear equations: \newlinex1+x2+x3=2x_1+x_2+x_3=2\newline 2x1x2+x3=92x_1-x_2+x_3=9 \newline2x1+3x2+4x3=42x_1+3x_2+4x_3=4\newlineDetermine the values of x1,x2,x3x_1, x_2, x_3 ​ .
  1. Write Equations: Step 11: Write down the system of equations.\newlineEquations given:\newline11. x1+x2+x3=2x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 2\newline22. 2x1x2+x3=92x_1 - x_2 + x_3 = 9\newline33. 2x1+3x2+4x3=42x_1 + 3x_2 + 4x_3 = 4
  2. Use Elimination: Step 22: Use elimination to simplify the equations.\newlineEliminate x3x_3 from equations 11 and 22:\newlineAdd equation 11 and 22:\newlinex1+x2+x3+2x1x2+x3=2+9x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + 2x_1 - x_2 + x_3 = 2 + 9\newline3x1+2x3=113x_1 + 2x_3 = 11
  3. Substitute and Solve: Step 33: Substitute 3x1+2x3=113x_1 + 2x_3 = 11 into equation 33.\newlineReplace 3x1+2x33x_1 + 2x_3 in equation 33:\newline3x1+2x3+3x2+4x3=43x_1 + 2x_3 + 3x_2 + 4x_3 = 4\newline6x2+6x3=76x_2 + 6x_3 = -7 (This is incorrect, should be 3x2+2x3=73x_2 + 2x_3 = -7)
