How to solve the following system of equations for #C_0# in terms of #C#?

#V=Q_2/C+Q_3/C#
#V=Q_1/C+(Q-Q_3-Q_4)/C#
#V=Q_1/C+(Q_1+Q_3+Q_4-Q)/C+(Q_3+Q_4-Q_2)/C+Q_4/C#
#V=(Q-Q_1-Q_2)/C+(Q_3+Q_4-Q_2)/C+(Q_3-Q_2)/C+Q_3/C#
#V=Q_2/C+(Q_2-Q_3)/C+Q_4/C#
#C_0=Q/V#

PLEASE PROVIDE STEPS.

#C_0 = (15 C)/11#

Explanation:

Solving the linear system

#((0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0),(1, 1, 0, -1, -1, 0),(-1, 2, -1, 2, 3, 0),(1, -1, -3, 3, 1, 0),(0, 0, 2, -1, 1, 0),(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, -V))((Q),(Q_1),(Q_2),(Q_3),(Q_4),(C_0)) = ((C V),(C V),(C V),(C V),(C V),(0))#

we obtain

#Q = (15 C V)/11, Q_1 = (5 C V)/11, Q_2 = (6 C V)/11, Q_3 = (5 C V)/11, Q_4 = (4 C V)/11, C_0 = (15 C)/11#
