Question about solution to matrix equation
$begingroup$
In the question above, I am unsure how the very first step of the solution came about. How does fact that R is in reduced row echelon form help deduce the value of d?

Recall that for the general solution of a linear system is given by
$$x=x_p+x_h$$
with
$x_p$ particular solution such that $$Ax_p=b$$
$x_h$ homogeneous solution such that $$Ax_h=0$$
ans since R has rank $1$ it is equal to
$$R=begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\0&0&0\0&0&0end{bmatrix}$$
What can we conclude now?

I'm really sorry this might be a trivial question, but I still can't seem to deduce anything.

@JavierLim Firstly you need to have clear how the complete solution for a linear system work. Have you clear the mening of the terms for $$x=x_p+c_1x_{h1}+c_2x_{h2}$$

$begingroup$
$x_p$ stands for the particular solution, so $Ax_p = b$ and $c_1x_{h1} + c_2x_{h2}$ stand for vectors in the nullspace of $A$, correct?

@JavierLim Exactly! Then also for $R$ we have that $Rx_p=d$ and $Rx_h=0$ . Now you need to figure out what $R$ is.
