The linear system corresponding to the augmented matrix is
x17x4=8
x2+3x4=2
x3+x4=5
The lending variables are x1,x2 and x3. Solve for the leading variables: x1=8+7x4
x2=23x4
x3=5x4
Assign arbitrary value to free variable x4, say x4=t. Then the solution set is described by the parametric equations
x1=8+7t,x2=23t,x3=5t,x4=t
