Given -

x - y + z = -3

x - y - z = -3

5x - 5y + z = -15

To Find -

Solution =?

Step-by-Step Explanation -

x - y + z = -3 ........(1)

x - y - z = -3 ..........(2)

5x - 5y + z = -15 .........(3)

So, from equation 1:

z = -3 -x + y

Now, put the value of z in equation 2 and 3:

x - y - (-3 -x + y) = -3

2x - 2y = -6

x - y = -3 ........(4)

5x - 5y + (-3 -x + y) = -15

4x - 4y = -12

x - y = -3 ......(5)

Now, on subtracting equations (5) and (6):

x - y -(x - y) = -3 - (-3)

x - x + y - y = 3 - 3

0 = 0

So, The System of equations has infinitely many solutions

Final Answer -

Solution: infinitely many solutions
