The augmented matrix is
`[[-1,1,-1,-14], [2,-1,1,21],[3,2,1,19]] `
On applying `R_1 -gt R_1 +R_2` we get (means changing 1st row as the sum of of first and second row)
`[[1,0,0,7],[2,-1,1,21],[3,2,1,19]] `
On applying `R_2 -gt R_2 - 2R_1` we get
`[[1,0,0,7], [0,-1,1,7], [3,2,1,19]] `
On applying `R_2 -gt -R_2` and `R_3 -gt R_3 - 3R_1` we get
`[[1,0,0,7],[0,1,-1,-7],[0,2,1,-2]] `
On applying `R_3 -gt R_3 - 2R_2` we get
`[[1,0,0,7],[0,1,-1,7],[0,0,3,12]] `
On applying `R_3 -gt(R_3)/3` we get
`[[1,0,0,7],[0,1,-1,-7],[0,0,1,4]] `
Hence the given system of equations is equivalent to the following system of equations
`x = 7 `
`y - z = -7 ` and
`z = 4 `
`therefore` the solution set is
`x = 7, y =-3, z = 4 `
