`x + 2y = 0, x + y = 6, 3x - 2y = 8` Use matricies to solve the system of equations. Use Gaussian elimination with back-substitution.

The augmented matrix `[[1,2,0],[1,1,6],[3,-2,8]]`


On applying `R_2 -gt R_1 - R_2 ` we get


`[[1,2,0],[0,1,-6],[3,-2,8]]`


On applying `R_3 -gt 3R_1 - R_3 ` we get


`[[1,2,0],[0,1,-6],[0,8,-8]]`


On applying `R_3 -gt (R_3)/8` we get


`[[1,2,0],[0,1,-6],[0,1,-1]]`


On applying `R_3 -gt R_3 - R_2` we get 


`[[1,2,0],[0,1,-6],[0,0,5]]`


The corresponding system is `x + 2y = 0`


`y = -6`


`0(x) + 0(y) = 5`


No `x ` and `y ` value satisfy the last equation. 


Hence the system is inconsistent.

In his book Night , Elie Wiesel uses symbolism throughout to enhance the text. First of all, the title itself is symbolic. The word "ni...
