When three linear lines meet at a given point, the meeting place is called the solution of the system. If the three lines intersect, then the three variable system has a line of intersection and therefore an infinite number of solutions.

what is the definiton of a solution of three linear equation?
------------
If it's 3 linear equations in 3 variables, such as x, y & z, equation specifies a plane.
The solution is the point common to the 3 planes.
------
If no 2 planes are parallel, then the intersection of any 2 planes is a line.
The solution is the point of intersection of the line and the 3rd plane.
