To solve: The given system of equations

Answer to Problem 19PPS
The system has infinitely many solutions.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The system of equations
Formula Used
Here, three equations with three unknown variables are given. The approach used is variable elimination and simplification.
(1) First two equations are multiplied with a factor such that one of the variables has identical coefficients.
(2) Add the modified equations to eliminate the particular variable.
(3) Then, the same process is repeated between any othercombination of two equations.
(4) This gives two equations with two unknowns which can be further solved by elimination.
(3) Substitute the obtained variable in one of the equations to get the second variable and then the third variable.
Calculation Here, the equations are,
Considering the first two equations, Multiplying each of the terms in equation (1) by-3, it becomes
Now, adding corresponding terms of (4) and (2) gives,
Now, multiplying each term in (1) by -4, the equation becomes,
Subtracting (6) from (3) ,
Subtracting (5) from (7) leads to
0=0
This implies the system has infinitely many solutions.
