Explanation / Answer

According to the row reduced echelon form, the original system of equations now becomes,

x + 0.y + 0.z = 6 , i.e , x=6

And, 0.x + 1.y + 2.z = -4 , i.e , y + 2z = -4

Now, since we are left with the only equation, y + 2z = -4 but with 2 unknowns, we need to set one of the variables as a free variable.

Set, z = t , t is a real number

Then, y = -4-2t

So the solution of the system is,

x = 6, y = -4-2t , z = t

Thus we have infinite solutions of the system corresponding to different values of t
