Question 1002143: Please help me with this problem. I have never understood this but have tried but for some reasons my answers comes out incorrect. Please show all work.
Given the system of equations
2x−3y−9z=9
x+3z=3
−3x+y−4z=−10
(a) determine whether the system is inconsistent or dependent;
Your answer is (input inconsistent or dependent)
(b) if your answer is dependent in (a), find the complete solution. Write x and y as functions of z.

Given the system of equations
2x −3y -9z=9
x +0y + 3z=3
−3x+y−4z=−10
-----------
Note:: x = -3z+3
-----
Substitute for "x" in rows 1 and 3::
2(-3z+3) -3y - 9z = 9
-3(-3z+3) + y - 4z = -10
--------------------------------------
Simplify::
-3y -15z = 3
y + 5z = -1
-----
Modify::
y + 5z = -1
y + 5z = -1
---
The system is dependent.
=======
y = -5z-1
x = -3z + 3
