Work Step by Step

The augmented matrix for the given system is: $A^\#= \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1|4\\ 0 &1&-1|1\\1&3&0|0 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1|4\\ 0 &1&-1|1\\0&1&-1|0 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1|4\\ 0 &1&-1|1\\0&0&0|-5 \end{bmatrix}$ Then: $1.A_{13}(-1)\\2.A_{23}(-1)$ From the last row, we have: $0x_1+0x_2+0x_3=-5$ Hence, the system has no solution. As a result,there are no common points to all three planes.
