1. Problem Description

We are given a system of six linear equations with six variables, x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6. The system is:
x2+x3+x4+x5+x6=3x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 + x_6 = 3
x1+x3+x4+x5+x6=5x_1 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 + x_6 = 5
x1+x2+x4+x5+x6=4x_1 + x_2 + x_4 + x_5 + x_6 = 4
x1+x2+x3+x5+x6=7x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_5 + x_6 = 7
x1+x2+x3+x4+x6=11x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_6 = 11
x1+x2+x3+x4+x5=10x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 = 10
We need to find the values of the six variables.

2. Solution Steps

Let's denote the sum of all variables by S=x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6S = x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5 + x_6.
From the given equations, we can express each equation in terms of SS and one variable:
Sx1=3S - x_1 = 3
Sx2=5S - x_2 = 5
Sx3=4S - x_3 = 4
Sx4=7S - x_4 = 7
Sx5=11S - x_5 = 11
Sx6=10S - x_6 = 10
Now we can express each variable in terms of SS:
x1=S3x_1 = S - 3
x2=S5x_2 = S - 5
x3=S4x_3 = S - 4
x4=S7x_4 = S - 7
x5=S11x_5 = S - 11
x6=S10x_6 = S - 10
Substitute these expressions into the equation for SS:
S=(S3)+(S5)+(S4)+(S7)+(S11)+(S10)S = (S - 3) + (S - 5) + (S - 4) + (S - 7) + (S - 11) + (S - 10)
S=6S(3+5+4+7+11+10)S = 6S - (3 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 11 + 10)
S=6S40S = 6S - 40
5S=405S = 40
S=8S = 8
Now we can find the values of the variables:
x1=S3=83=5x_1 = S - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5
x2=S5=85=3x_2 = S - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3
x3=S4=84=4x_3 = S - 4 = 8 - 4 = 4
x4=S7=87=1x_4 = S - 7 = 8 - 7 = 1
x5=S11=811=3x_5 = S - 11 = 8 - 11 = -3
x6=S10=810=2x_6 = S - 10 = 8 - 10 = -2

3. Final Answer

x1=5x_1 = 5
x2=3x_2 = 3
x3=4x_3 = 4
x4=1x_4 = 1
x5=3x_5 = -3
x6=2x_6 = -2
