Systems of linear equations

Explore

In Example 3, replace the second equation’s right-hand side 22 by 33. Doubling the first still forces 2x+4y+6z=22x+4y+6z=2, so the changed second equation contradicts it. The original has infinitely many solutions; the changed system has none. Keep all equations when interpreting a dependent row.
