#### Linear Algebra: Solutions to Homogeneous and Nonhomogeneous Systems
Suppose \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \), where \( \mathbf{b} \) is not the zero vector, is a consistent linear system. Suppose that \( \mathbf{u} \) is a solution to the nonhomogeneous system and \( \mathbf{v} \) is a solution to the associated homogeneous system \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0} \). Prove that \( \mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v} \) is a solution to \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \) and that every solution \( \mathbf{x} \) to the nonhomogeneous system \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \) can be written as \( \mathbf{x}_p + \mathbf{x}_h \), where \( \mathbf{x}_p \) is a particular solution to the nonhomogeneous system and \( \mathbf{x}_h \) is a solution to the associated homogeneous system.

In this problem, we are working with both nonhomogeneous and homogeneous linear systems. The key goals are to demonstrate the properties of these systems and solutions:
1. **Combined Solution**:
- If \( \mathbf{u} \) is a solution to the nonhomogeneous system \( A\mathbf{u} = \mathbf{b} \), and \( \mathbf{v} \) is a solution to the homogeneous system \( A\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{0} \), we want to prove that their sum \( \mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v} \) is also a solution to the nonhomogeneous system \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \).
2. **General Solution Form**:
- Any solution \( \mathbf{x} \) to the nonhomogeneous system can be expressed as the sum of a particular solution \( \mathbf{x}_p \) and a solution \( \mathbf{x}_h \) to the homogeneous system.
To effectively navigate through the problem, we will delve into the following proofs:
- **Proof of Combined Solution**:
- Starting with \( A\mathbf{u} = \mathbf{b} \) and \( A\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{0} \), show that \(
