No Solution and Infinite Solutions
A. Solve the system of equations.
2x + y – 3z = 5
x + 2y – 4z = 7
6x + 3y – 9z = 15
Eliminate y in the first and third equations.
2x + y – 3z = 5 6x + 3y – 9z = 15
Multiply by 3.
6x + 3y – 9z = 15 (–)6x + 3y – 9z = 15
0 = 0
Example 2

15. No Solution and Infinite Solutions
The equation 0 = 0 is always true. This indicates that the first and third equations represent the same plane. Check to see if this plane intersects the second plane.
x + 2y – 4z = 7 6x + 12y – 24z = 42
Multiply by 6.
6x + 3y – 9z = 15 (–)6x + 3y – 9z = 15
9y – 15z = 27
Divide by the GCF, 3. 3y – 5z = 9
Answer: The planes intersect in a line. So, there is an infinite number of solutions.
