The given equations are

x + y + z = 2

2x + 2y + 2z = 4

- 3x - 3y - 3z = - 6

From the first equation,

x = 2 - y - z

We would substitute x = 2 - y - z into the second and third equations. We have

2(2 - y - z) + 2y + 2z = 4

4 - 2y - 2z + 2y + 2z = 4

- 2y + 2y - 2z + 2z = 4 - 4

0 = 0

- 3(2 - y - z) - 3y - 3z = - 6

- 6 + 3y + 3z - 3y - 3z = - 6

3y - 3y + 3z - 3z = - 6 + 6

0 = 0

The equations would form the same line.

Thus, the correct answer is

B. Infinite solutions
