Solutions: Systems of 3 variable EquationsWhere Planes Intersect Systems of equations that have three variables are systems of planes. Since all three variables equations such as 2x + 3y + 4z = 6 describe a a three dimensional plane.
Like systems of linear equations, the solution of a system of planes can be no solution, one solution or infinite solutions.
No Solution of three variable systems
One Solution of three variable systems
Infinite Solutions of three variable systems
Before attempting to solve systems of three variable equations using elimination, you should probably be comfortable
