Solution

Sure, let's solve this system of linear equations using Gauss-Jordan elimination.

First, let's write the system of equations in augmented matrix form:

| 0  1  1 -2 | -8 |
| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 2  4  1 -3 | -7 |
| 1  3 -7 -1 | 16 |

Next, we'll perform row operations to get this matrix in row-echelon form.

Step 1: Swap row 1 and row 2 to get x1 term at the top.

| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1  1 -2 | -8 |
| 2  4  1 -3 | -7 |
| 1  3 -7 -1 | 16 |

Step 2: Subtract 2*row1 from row3 and subtract row1 from row4.

| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1  1 -2 | -8 |
| 0  0  3 -1 | -11|
| 0  1 -6  0 | 14 |

Step 3: Swap row 2 and row 4.

| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1 -6  0 | 14 |
| 0  0  3 -1 | -11|
| 0  1  1 -2 | -8 |

Step 4: Subtract row2 from row4.

| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1 -6  0 | 14 |
| 0  0  3 -1 | -11|
| 0  0  7 -2 | -22|

Step 5: Divide row3 by 3 and row4 by 7.

| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1 -6  0 | 14 |
| 0  0  1 -1/3 | -11/3|
| 0  0  1 -2/7 | -22/7|

Step 6: Subtract row4 from row3.

| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1 -6  0 | 14 |
| 0  0  0  1/21 | 1/21|
| 0  0  1 -2/7 | -22/7|

Step 7: Multiply row3 by 21.

| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1 -6  0 | 14 |
| 0  0  0  1 | 1|
| 0  0  1 -2/7 | -22/7|

Step 8: Add 2/7*row3 to row4.

| 1  2 -1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1 -6  0 | 14 |
| 0  0  0  1 | 1|
| 0  0  1  0 | -3|

Step 9: Subtract row4 from row1 and add 6*row4 to row2.

| 1  2  0 -1 |  5 |
| 0  1  0  0 |  2 |
| 0  0  0  1 | 1|
| 0  0  1  0 | -3|

Step 10: Add row4 to row1.

| 1  2  1 -1 |  2 |
| 0  1  0  0 |  2 |
| 0  0  0  1 | 1|
| 0  0  1  0 | -3|

Step 11: Subtract 2*row2 from row1.

| 1  0  1 -1 | -2 |
| 0  1  0  0 |  2 |
| 0  0  0  1 | 1|
| 0  0  1  0 | -3|

Step 12: Subtract row4 from row1.

| 1  0  0 -1 | 1 |
| 0  1  0  0 | 2 |
| 0  0  0  1 | 1|
| 0  0  1  0 | -3|

Step 13: Add row3 to row1.

| 1  0  0  0 | 2 |
| 0  1  0  0 | 2 |
| 0  0  0  1 | 1|
| 0  0  1  0 | -3|

So, the solution to the system of equations is x1 = 2, x2 = 2, x3 = -3, x4 = 1.
