2x - y + 6z - a = 7

2y + z + 7a = 8

x + y + 3z + 4a = 8

-x -2y + 3z - a = 1

You asked:

Solve the system of equations:\[\begin{aligned}2 x - y + 6 z - a &= 7\\2 y + z + 7 a &= 8\\x + y + 3 z + 4 a &= 8\\-x - 2 y + 3 z - a &= 1\end{aligned}\]

MathBot Answer:

The system of equations has infinitely many solutions.

$$\begin{aligned}a &= 2 - z\\x &= 3 - 2 z\\y &= 3 z - 3\end{aligned}$$

\(z\) is a free variable.
