Step 1 :First, we write the system of equations in augmented matrix form. The augmented matrix is: \[\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 0 & -2 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 & 4 & -15 \\ -3 & 0 & -4 & -1 & 21 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 2 :Next, we swap row 1 and row 2 to get the leading 1 in the top left corner. The new matrix is: \[\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 0 & 4 & -15 \\ 3 & 0 & -2 & 0 & 0 \\ -3 & 0 & -4 & -1 & 21 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 3 :Then, we add row 1 to row 3 and subtract 3 times row 1 from row 2 to eliminate the coefficients of w in the second and third equations. The new matrix is: \[\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 0 & 4 & -15 \\ 0 & 3 & -2 & -12 & 45 \\ 0 & -1 & -4 & 3 & 6 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 4 :Next, we add row 2 to row 3 and row 4 to row 2 to eliminate the coefficients of x in the second and third equations. The new matrix is: \[\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 4 & -17 \\ 0 & 4 & -1 & -12 & 43 \\ 0 & 0 & -6 & -9 & 51 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 5 :Then, we divide row 2 by 4 and row 3 by -6 to make the leading coefficients of x and y to be 1. The new matrix is: \[\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 4 & -17 \\ 0 & 1 & -0.25 & -3 & 10.75 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1.5 & -8.5 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 6 :Next, we subtract row 2 from row 4 to eliminate the coefficient of x in the fourth equation. The new matrix is: \[\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 4 & -17 \\ 0 & 1 & -0.25 & -3 & 10.75 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1.5 & -8.5 \\ 0 & 0 & 1.25 & 3 & -12.75 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 7 :Then, we subtract row 3 from row 4 to eliminate the coefficient of y in the fourth equation. The new matrix is: \[\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 4 & -17 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -4.5 & 13 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1.5 & -8.5 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1.5 & -4.25 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 8 :Finally, we divide row 4 by 1.5 to make the leading coefficient of z to be 1. The new matrix is: \[\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 4 & -17 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 & 8.67 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & -5.67 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & -2.83 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 9 :From the final matrix, we can read off the solutions: \(w = -17 - 4z\), \(x = 8.67 + 3z\), \(y = -5.67 - z\), and \(z = -2.83\). Substituting \(z = -2.83\) into the other equations, we get \(w = 4.32\), \(x = 0.17\), and \(y = -2.84\).
Step 10 :So, the solution to the system of equations is \(\boxed{(w, x, y, z) = (4.32, 0.17, -2.84, -2.83)}\).
