A system of linear equations with variables x, y, and z is being solved by the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. After setting up the augmented matrix and using elementary row operations, the following matrix is obtained: [1    0    1/5       3] [0    1   −2/3     5] [0    0    0         0] State the solution(s) or state why there is no solution (whichever is appropriate).
