Examples:
Are statements 1-4 true or false?
1) The linear system
x−y =3
2x − 2y = k
cannot have a unique solution, regardless of the value
of k.
2) If the number of unknowns in a linear system ex-
ceeds the number of equations, then the system must
be consistent.
3) If each equation in a consistent linear system is
multiplied through by a constant c, then all solutions
to the new system can be obtained by multiplying
solutions from the original system by c.
4) The linear system with the corresponding aug-
mented matrix
[ ]
2 −1 4
0 0 −1
is consistent.

5) Solve the following system of equations:


2x + 2z = 1
3x − y + 4z = 7
6x + y − z = 0.

6) Consider the following system of equations:


x + y + 2z = a
x+z =b
2x + y + 3z = c.
Show that in order for the system to be consistent,
a, b and c must satisfy c = a + b.
7) Prove that if the linear equations x1 + kx2 = c
and x1 + ℓx2 = d have the same solution set, then
the two equations must be identical.
