**Problem 3:**

Find the solution set for each system by putting it in row-echelon form.

a) 
\[
\begin{align*}
x + y + z &= 6 \\
2y + 5z &= -4 \\
2x + 5y - z &= 27 \\
\end{align*}
\]

b)
\[
\begin{align*}
3x_1 - 4x_2 + 4x_3 &= 7 \\
x_1 - x_2 - 2x_3 &= 2 \\
2x_1 - 3x_2 + 6x_3 &= 5 \\
\end{align*}
\]

c)
\[
\begin{align*}
2x_1 - x_2 + x_3 + x_4 &= 1 \\
x_1 + 2x_2 - x_3 + x_4 &= 7 \\
\end{align*}
\]

d)
\[
\begin{align*}
-3x + 6y &= 5 \\
x + 2y &= 6 \\
\end{align*}
\]

**Instructions:**

For each sub-problem, convert the given system of equations into row-echelon form to find the solution set. Row-echelon form typically involves manipulating the system of equations such that each successive row has more leading zeros than the previous one. The process usually involves a combination of scaling rows, swapping rows, and adding/subtracting multiples of rows from each other.
