Answer

Fill the blanks with (a) ...2...1...3 (b) ...2-t ... 1-t ... t (c) ... none ... none ... none

Work Step by Step

a. Unique solution, x=2, y=1, z=3 b. The system is dependent, we take z=t x=2-t, y=1-t, w=t c. The third row represents an impossible equation (0=3), so the system has no solution. x=none, y=none, z=none. Fill the blanks with (a) ...2...1...3 (b) ...2-t ... 1-t ... t (c) ... none ... none ... none
