Final answer:
To solve the linear system of equations, we first identify the given equations. Then we use either substitution or elimination methods to solve for the unknowns x, y, and z step-by-step, checking for consistency or inconsistency in the system.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the complete solution of the linear system, or show that it is inconsistent, we need to solve the simultaneous equations. First, let's identify the known equations:
- x + y + z = 0
- -x + 2y + 5z = 3
- 3x - y = 6
Next, we can use a method such as substitution or elimination to solve the equations step-by-step:
- Add the first and second equations to eliminate x: (x + y + z) + (-x + 2y + 5z) = 0 + 3, which simplifies to 3y + 6z = 3.
- Next, we can multiply the third equation by 3 to help with elimination: 3(3x - y) = 18, which gives us 9x - 3y = 18.
- Now, we have a new system with the equations 3y + 6z = 3 and 9x - 3y = 18. Eliminate y by adding these two equations: (9x - 3y) + (3y + 6z) = 18 + 3, which simplifies to 9x + 6z = 21.
- There are multiple ways to proceed with the solution, but one option is to solve for z using the equation from step 1, and then substitute the value of z into the other two equations to find values for x and y.
Through this process, we will either find a single solution for x, y, and z, or find that the system is inconsistent if there are contradictions in the equations (such as an equation that simplifies to 0=3).
