Transcribed Image Text:Problem 13.4 Consider the network of streets with intersections A, B, C, D and E below. The
arrows indicate the direction of traffic flow along the one-way streets, and the numbers refer to the
exact number of cars observed to enter or leave A, B, C, D and E during one minute. Each x; denotes
the unknown number of cars which passed along the indicated streets during the same period.

a) Write down a system of linear equations which describes the the traffic flow, together with all
the constraints on the variables xi, i = 1,..., 6.
b) *The reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix of the system in part (a) is
