Section @ A: ∑ FH ; −100 + 3(8) − 3τ2 − 3τ3 = 0
−3τ2 − 3τ2 = 76 → 𝐄𝐪. 𝟏
Section @ B: ∑ FH ; −100 + 3(17) − 3τ4 = 0
−3τ4 = 49 → 𝐄𝐪. 𝟐
Section @ C: ∑ FH ; −100 + 3(16) − 3τ6 − 3τ8 = 0
−3τ6 − 3τ8 = 52 → 𝐄𝐪. 𝟑
Section @ D: ∑ FV ; 222.22 − 7(8) + 6τ4 + 7τ6 = 0
6τ4 + 7τ6 = −166.22 → 𝐄𝐪. 𝟒
Section @ E: ∑ FV ; 222.22 − 7(16) + 7τ2 = 0
7τ2 = −110.22 → 𝐄𝐪. 𝟓

Solving for the unknown using Matrix Operations:

Verification of results, all equilibrium equations must be satisfied:

Section @ A: ∑ FH ; −100 + 3(8) − 3(−15.746) − 3(−9.588) = 0
0 = 0
