Question 990675: State whether the following sets of data are possible for the matrix
equation AX = B. If possible, describe the solution set. That is, tell whether there exists a unique solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. Here, [A|B] denotes the augmented matrix
A is a 5 × 6 matrix, rank (A) = 4 and rank [A|B] = 4.

Infinitely many solutions.

The solution set is a straight line in a 5D space (i.e. 1D parametric infinite set).
