What kind of form is this general solution of a system?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on interpreting the general solution of a system represented in parametric form based on the reduced row echelon form of an augmented matrix. The given solution expresses the variables as a combination of a particular solution and free variables, indicating the presence of infinite solutions. The specific solution is (3, 0, 1, 0, 0, 2), while the free variables s, t, and u allow for additional degrees of freedom in the solution space. Understanding this form helps clarify how to derive solutions from the matrix representation. The discussion emphasizes the significance of recognizing particular and free solutions in linear algebra.

If this were the reduced row echelon form of an augmented matrix,

1 2 0 1 1 0 3
0 0 1 2 1 0 1
0 0 0 0 0 1 2
0 0 0 0 0 0 0

What is the form of the following answer given, and how can I understand it?

(x1; x2; x3; x4; x5; x6) = (3; 0; 1; 0; 0; 2)+ t(1; 0; 1; 0; 1; 0)+ s(1; 0; 2; 1; 0; 0)+ u(2; 1; 0; 0; 0; 0)
for s; t; u \in ℝ.

the solution to the system is written in parametric form where T,S,U are your free variables and (3 0 1 0 0 2) is your particular solution.
 
I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
