Let's use row reduction.
[A | b] =
⌈ 1 -3 0 | 18 ⌉
|-4 0 2 | -10 |
⌊ 1 -5 4 | 32 ⌋
R2 ← R2 + 4R1
R3 ← R3 - R1
⌈ 1 -3 0 | 18 ⌉
| 0 -12 2 | 62 |
⌊ 0 -2 4 | 14 ⌋
| 0 -12 2 | 62 |
⌊ 0 -2 4 | 14 ⌋
R1 ← 2R1
R2 ← R2/2
R3 ← 3R3
⌈ 2 -6 0 | 36 ⌉
| 0 -6 1 | 31 |
⌊ 0 -6 12 | 42 ⌋
| 0 -6 1 | 31 |
⌊ 0 -6 12 | 42 ⌋
R1 ← R1 - R2
R3 ← R3 - R2
R3 ← R3 - R2
⌈ 2 0 -1 | 5 ⌉
| 0 -6 1 | 31 |
⌊ 0 0 11 | 11 ⌋
| 0 -6 1 | 31 |
⌊ 0 0 11 | 11 ⌋
R3 ← R3/11
⌈ 2 0 -1 | 5 ⌉
| 0 6 -1 | -31 |
⌊ 0 0 1 | 1 ⌋
| 0 6 -1 | -31 |
⌊ 0 0 1 | 1 ⌋
R1 ← R1 + R3
R2 ← R2 + R3
R2 ← R2 + R3
⌈ 2 0 0 | 6 ⌉
| 0 6 0 | -30 |
⌊ 0 0 1 | 1 ⌋
| 0 6 0 | -30 |
⌊ 0 0 1 | 1 ⌋
R1 ← R1/2
R2 ← R2/3
⌈ 1 0 0 | 3 ⌉
| 0 1 0 | -5 |
⌊ 0 0 1 | 1 ⌋
| 0 1 0 | -5 |
⌊ 0 0 1 | 1 ⌋
So b is the image of the vector
⌈ 3 ⌉
| -5 |
⌊ 1 ⌋
