There isn't a row in the augmented matrix where the last column contains the only nonzero entry. This equation set must therefore be consistent.

Convert the augmented matrix into a system of equations.

x12x2=6
0=0

For each equation, find the leading entry by solving the problem. Find any free variables that may exist.
x1=6+2x2
x2, free

Set the free variables to parameters.
x1=6+2t
x2=t

Write the solution in vector form.
x=[60]+t[21]
