In Exercises 69 and 70, determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from the text. If a statement is false, provide an example that shows the statement is not true in all cases or cite an appropriate statement from the text. a A system of one linear equation in two variables is always consistent. b A system of two linear equations in three variables is always consistent. c If a linear system is consistent, then it has infinitely many solutions.arrow_forwardMatching a System with Its Graph In Exercises 29-32, match the system of linear equations with its graph. Describe the number of solutions and state whether the system is consistent or inconsistent. [The graphs are labeled (a), (b), (c), and (d).] x+5y=4x3y=6arrow_forward
- True or False? In Exercises 69 and 70, determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from the text. If a statement is false, provide an example that shows the statement is not true in all cases or cite an appropriate statement from the text. a A linear system can have exactly two solutions. b Two systems of linear equations are equivalent when they have the same solution set. c A system of three linear equations in two variables is always inconsistent.arrow_forwardSystem of Linear Equations In Exercises 25-38, solve the system using either Gaussian elimination with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination. x+3y=113x+y=9arrow_forwardSystem of Linear Equations In Exercises 25-38, solve the system using either Gaussian elimination with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination. x+2y=0x+y=63x2y=8arrow_forward
