1. **State the problem:** We are given a system of equations:
$$
\begin{cases}
x_1 + x_2 + s_1 = 29 \\
2x_1 + x_2 + s_2 = 30 \\
4x_1 + x_2 + s_3 = 44
\end{cases}
$$
and a partially completed table of basic solutions. We need to find the basic solution labeled (I).
2. **Recall the concept of basic solutions:**
A basic solution corresponds to setting some variables to zero and solving for the others. The system has 5 variables ($x_1, x_2, s_1, s_2, s_3$) and 3 equations, so each basic solution sets exactly 2 variables to zero and solves for the remaining 3.
3. **Analyze the table:**
The table shows values of variables for solutions (A) through (J). For (I), the last two columns $s_3$ and one other variable are zero. We need to find which variables are zero in (I) and solve accordingly.
4. **Identify zero variables for (I):**
From the table, (I) has zeros in the last two columns, so $s_3=0$ and $s_2=0$ (assuming the order $s_1, s_2, s_3$).
Thus, for (I):
$$s_2 = 0, \quad s_3 = 0$$
5. **Solve the system with $s_2=0$ and $s_3=0$: **
The system becomes:
$$
\begin{cases}
x_1 + x_2 + s_1 = 29 \\
2x_1 + x_2 = 30 \\
4x_1 + x_2 = 44
\end{cases}
$$
6. **Subtract the second equation from the third:**
$$
(4x_1 + x_2) - (2x_1 + x_2) = 44 - 30 \\
2x_1 = 14 \\
x_1 = 7
$$
7. **Substitute $x_1=7$ into the second equation:**
$$
2(7) + x_2 = 30 \\
14 + x_2 = 30 \\
x_2 = 16
$$
8. **Find $s_1$ from the first equation:**
$$
7 + 16 + s_1 = 29 \\
s_1 = 29 - 23 = 6
$$
9. **Write the basic solution (I):**
$$
(x_1, x_2, s_1, s_2, s_3) = (7, 16, 6, 0, 0)
$$
This satisfies the system and the zero conditions for $s_2$ and $s_3$.
**Final answer:** Basic solution (I) is $(7, 16, 6, 0, 0)$.
