Please note that the first equation, namely: \[x-2y-z=2\] isn't consistent with the third equation, namely: \[2x-4x-2z=3\] so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2x-2z=3?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that first equation and third equation are incompatible each other

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

If I multiply both sides of the first equation by 2, I get: \[2x-4y-2z=4\] whereas the third equation tells us: \[2x-4y-2z=3\] do you think it is possible that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or no?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, please note that the same quantity can not be equal to 4 and to 3 at the same time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ow yea

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what is your option then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0,1,3?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that if a system has two or more equations which are not compatible, then that system admits no solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its no solutions?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much!!
