Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & | & 6 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & | & 10 \\ 1 & 2 & \lambda & | & \mu \end{pmatrix}\) \(R_2 \leftarrow R_2-R_1, R_3 \leftarrow R_3-R_1\) \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & | & 6 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 & | & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & \lambda-1 & | & \mu-6 \end{pmatrix}\)…
