A:
Answer: b (x, x ­- 3, 0)d Infinite SolutionsStep-by-step explanation:1. A graphing calculator or any of several solvers available on the internet can tell you the reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix ... [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&-2&-1&6\\-1&1&3&-3\\3&-3&2&9\end{array}\right][/tex]is the matrix ...[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&-1&0&3\\0&0&1&0\\0&0&0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]The first row can be interpreted as the equation ...   x -y = 3   x -3 = y . . . . . add y-3The second row can be interpreted as the equation ...   z = 0Then the solution set is ...   (x, y, z) = (x, x -3, 0) . . . . matches selection B__2. The second equation is 2 times the first equation, so the system of equations is dependent. There are infinite solutions.
