System Solution 10047A
1. **State the problem:** Solve the system represented by the augmented matrix
$$\left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -2 & 7 \\ 0 & 0 & -9 \\ \end{array}\right]$$
using Gauss-Jordan elimination.
2. **Understand the matrix:** The first row corresponds to the equation
$$1 \cdot x - 2 \cdot y = 7$$
The second row corresponds to
$$0 \cdot x + 0 \cdot y = -9$$
3. **Analyze the second equation:** The second equation simplifies to
$$0 = -9$$
which is a contradiction because zero cannot equal a nonzero number.
4. **Conclusion:** Since the system contains a contradiction, it has **no solution**.
**Final answer:** c) No solution
