Graphing Equations in Three Variables

Example

An inconsistent system of three linear equations

Solve the system:

(1)

(2)

(3)

= 5

= 8

= 7

Solution

We can eliminate the variable z from Eqs. (1) and (2) by adding them:

(1) (2)	x 3x	+ -	y 2y	- +	z z	= 5 = 8
	4x	-	y			= 13

To eliminate z from Eqs. (1) and (3), multiply Eq. (1) by 2 and add the resulting equation to Eq. (3):

-2x 3x	- +	2y 2y	+ -	2z 2z	= -10 = 7	Eq. (1) multiplied by -2 Eq. (3)
				0	= -3

Because the last equation is false, there are two inconsistent equations in the system. Therefore the solution set is the empty set.
