Short Answer

Solve each system of equations. If the system has no solution, say that it is inconsistent.

x-y-z=1 2x+3y+z=2 3x+2y=0

The system is inconsistent

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given information

We are given a system of equation as

x-y-z=1 (1)2x+3y+z=2 (2)3x+2y=0 (3)

Step 2: Add equation 1 and 2

We get,

x-y-z=1+2z+3y+z=23x+2y=3

But from equation 3 we have 3x+2y=0

As same equation cannot have different values

Hence the system is inconsisitent

Step 3: Conclusion

The given system of equation is inconsistant
