Question
solve the following system of equations .
## System of Linear Equations

In this activity, we will analyze a system of linear equations and identify the correct solution set.

### Given Equations

1. \( x - 3y + 6z = 8 \)
2. \( 3x - 9y + 18z = 24 \)

### Solution Set Options

Consider the following solution set options and select the correct one.

1. \( \varnothing \) (the null set)
2. \( \{\{2y + 5, y, 3y + 10\}\} \)
3. \( \{\{x, 3x - 1, 2x\}\} \)
4. \( \{(x, y, z)| x - 3y + 6z = 8 \}\)

### Explanation:

- Option 1 (\( \varnothing \)): Indicates that there are no solutions.
- Option 2 (\( \{\{2y + 5, y, 3y + 10\}\} \)): Represents a parametric solution where \( y \) is the free variable.
- Option 3 (\( \{\{x, 3x - 1, 2x\}\} \)): Also represents a parametric solution where \( x \) is the free variable.
- Option 4 (\( \{(x, y, z)| x - 3y + 6z = 8 \}\)): Defines the solution set as consistent with the first equation.

### Instruction:

Please analyze the given system of equations and use your understanding of linear algebra to determine the correct solution.
