Use the Gauss-Jordan elimination algorithm to show that the systems of equations in parts (a) and (b) below are inconsistent. That is, demonstrate that the existence of a solution would imply a mathematical contradiction. (a) -2x₁ + 5x₂ = -6 6x₁ - 15x2 = 16 (b) 4x₁ + 4x2 5x3 = -1 3х2 - X3 = 1 3x₁ 7x1 x2 6x3 = 1 C (a) What is the first step of the Gauss-Jordan elimination algorithm? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. times the first equation from the second. O A. Eliminate x₁ from equation two by subtracting O B. Eliminate x₁ from equation one by dividing the first equation by O c. Add the equations and group like terms. O D. Subtract the equations and group like terms.
