Question 1152851: III. Given the linear system
2x1 + 3x2 - x3 = 0
x1 - 4x2 + 5x3 = 0
(a) Verify that x1 = 1, x2 = -1, x3 = - 1 is a solution.
(b) Verify that x1 = -2, x2 = 2, x3 = 2 is a solution.
(c) Adding the corresponding x-values of the solution in parts (a) and (b) gives x1 = -1, x2 = 1, x3 = 1. Is this a solution to the linear system?
(d) Multiply each of the x-values in part (a) by 3. Are the resulting values a solution to the linear system?
