Vector parametric form for 2 equations and 3 variables

195 Views Asked by At

I need help to find the vector parametric form of the following linear system.

I have tried doing it on my own but I can't seem to get the system in the right form to get a solution.
\begin{align*} \begin{cases} x - 2y - z = -4\\\\ -2x + 4y + 3z = 1 \end{cases} \end{align*}

If we add twice the first row to the second row, we get that $z = -7$, as you have mentioned.

Based on it, we obtain the relation $x - 2y + 7 = -4$. That is to say, $x = 2y - 11$.

Consequently, the solution set to this system of linear equations is given by \begin{align*} S = \{(2a - 11,a,-7)\in\mathbb{R}^{3} \mid a\in\mathbb{R}\} \end{align*}

Hopefully this helps!
