1. Draw the row picture and column picture of the given system of equations
and find its solution: 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 4; 2𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 4
3. 3𝑥 + 𝑦 − 6𝑧 = −10; 2𝑥 + 𝑦 − 5𝑧 = −8; 6𝑥 − 3𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 0
4. 𝑥 + 𝑧 = 1; 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 2; 𝑥 − 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 1
5. Find an equation relating 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐, such that the linear system is consistent.
What is the solution of the system, when (𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐) = (2,3,9)?
𝑥 + 2𝑦 − 3𝑧 = 𝑎
2𝑥 + 3𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 𝑏
5𝑥 + 9𝑦 − 6𝑧 = 𝑐
6. For what values of 𝑎 and 𝑏 does the following system have (i) a unique
solution (ii) Infinitely many solutions (iii) No solution.
𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 2
−𝑥 − 2𝑦 + 𝑎𝑧 = −2
2𝑥 + 𝑏𝑦 + 6𝑧 = 5

12. Assume that the plate shown in the figure represents a cross-section of a
metal beam with negligible heat flow in the direction perpendicular to the
plate. Let T1, T2, T3 and T4 denote those temperatures at the four interior
nodes of the mesh. The temperature at a node is approximately equal to the
average of the four nearest nodes – to the right, left above and below. For
instance, T1=(10+20+T2+T4)/4 or T1-T2-T4=30. Write a system of 4
equations whose solution gives estimates for the temperatures T1, T2, T3
and T4. Hence find its solution.
