There are only two equations and three unknowns. So if the system has a solution, it will be an infinite set of solutions defined by a parameter.
Because of the way Gaussian reduction is performed, the solution will have x and y expressed in terms of parameter z.
The matrix for the given system of equations is
I don't like introducing fractions into the matrix when doing Gaussian reduction; but in this case we have no choice. So divide the first row by 2:
Next use the 1 in row 2 column 2 to get a 0 in row 1 column 2:
R1 <-- R1 + (1/2)R2: 1+0=1; -1/2+1/2=0; 2+1/2=5/2; 1/2+3/2=2.
This is as far as we can go with Gaussian reduction. The final matrix gives us these equations:
x+(5/2)z=2; y+z=3
We rewrite these equations to give us parametric equations for x and y in terms of parameter z:
x = 2-(5/2)z; y = 3-z
And the parametric solution set is
x = 2-(5/2)z;
y=3-z;
z=z
