Example of solving a 3-by-3 system of linear equations by row-reducing the augmented matrix, in the case of no solutions

math.la.e.linsys.3x3.soln.row_reduce.z


A 3x3 matrix equation Ax=b is solved for two different values of b. In one case there is no solution, and in another there are infinitely many solutions. These examples illustrate a theorem about linear combinations of the columns of the matrix A.
