Solution Steps
To solve the system of equations represented by the given matrix, we need to interpret the matrix in terms of the variables \(x_1\) and \(x_2\). The matrix is in reduced row-echelon form, which directly gives the values of the variables. The first row indicates that \(x_1 = -9\) and the second row indicates that \(x_2 = 6\). Therefore, the system has a unique solution.
Step 1: Interpret the Matrix
The given matrix is in reduced row-echelon form, which represents the system of equations:
\[
\begin{align*}
& \quad x_1 = -9 \\
& \quad x_2 = 6
\end{align*}
\]
Step 2: Identify the Solution
From the matrix, we can directly read the values of the variables:
The first equation gives us \(x_1 = -9\).
The second equation gives us \(x_2 = 6\).
Final Answer
The unique solution to the system is:
\[
\boxed{x_1 = -9, \, x_2 = 6}
\]
