solve using linear algebra plz

2.
Sulfur (S) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3) to produce sulfuric acid (H2SO4), nitrogen dioxide
(NO2), and water (H2O). Here S, H, N, and O denote atoms of sulfur, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
respectively. The unbalanced chemical equation for this reaction is
S+ HNO3 → H2SO4 + NO2 + H2O.
Balance this chemical equation, finding the smallest possible integer coefficients for the molecules above
such that the number of atoms of each element is the same on each side of the reaction.
Your solution to Problem 2 should involve setting up an augmented matrix. Feel free to use technology
(such as a calculator or WolframAlpha) to row-reduce this matrix; you need not perform the row operations
by hand.
