To determine if the given system of equations is consistent, we need to check if there exists a set of values for
,
, and
that satisfies all three equations simultaneously. If such a set exists, the system is consistent; otherwise, it is not.Let's analyze each equation:1.
2.
3.
First, let's solve the third equation for
:
Now, substitute
into the second equation:
Now, we have two equations with two variables (
and
):1.
2.
Let's solve these two equations simultaneously. We can use the elimination method. Multiply the first equation by 3:
Now, subtract the second equation from this result:
This is a contradiction, which means there is no set of values for
,
, and
that satisfies all three equations simultaneously. Therefore, the given system of equations is not consistent.
