Answer

No, see solution.

Work Step by Step

$Au=\begin{bmatrix} 3\\8\\2 \end{bmatrix}$ $Av=\begin{bmatrix} 7\\2\\8 \end{bmatrix}$ $||Au-b||=\sqrt{24}$ and $||Av-b||=\sqrt{24}$. Because the distance from Au to b is equal to the distance from Av to b even though u and v are not equal, neither can be a least squares solution to b.
