The short answer is:  The solution of the system is not unique.

                      In opposite, there are INFINITELY MANY solutions.



Slightly more extended answer is: This theory is a Linear Algebra, very rich and profound theory.

                      It is presented in many University textbooks.

                      Do you expect I will re-tell them here for you ?
