3 Variable Systems

How would you know a system has no solution?

• You end up with 0=0 at some point.

• The value of one of the variables is 0 (i.e. x=0, y=0, or z=0).

• You end up with a false statement (e.g. 3=5) at some point.

• You end up with fractions at some point.

Say you wanted to eliminate x from the system shown. How would you do it?

• Add the equations without doing any multiplication.

• Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3, then add the equations.

• Multiply the first equation by negative 2 and the second equation by 3, then add the equations.

• Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by negative 2, then add the equations.
