  1. I

    State whether the given system of equation have one, many or no solution: x−3y+5z+2=0x - 3y + 5z + 2 = 0 3x−9y+15z−3=03x - 9y + 15z - 3 = 0

    Answer: No solution

    Explanation

    Multiplying the first equation by 3 gives 3x−9y+15z=−63x - 9y + 15z = -6. The second equation is 3x−9y+15z=33x - 9y + 15z = 3. This leads to the mathematical contradiction −6=3-6 = 3, meaning the planes are parallel and there is no solution.
