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*}

  1. & \quad x_1 = -9 \\
  2. & \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: \[ \boxed{x_1 = -9, \, x_2 = 6} \]
