Answer:

The system of equations has no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

3x - 9y + 9z = 44 ..........................................................(1)

2x + 6y - 5z = -18 ..........................................................(2)

x - 3y + 3z = 14 ...............................................................(3)

Solving by elimination, multiply (3) by 2

2x - 6y + 6z = 28 ............................................................(4)

Subtract (2) from (4)

-12y + 11z = 46 .................................................................(5)

Multiply (3) by 3

3x - 9y + 9z = 42 ............................................................(6)

Subtract (6) from (1)

0x + 0y + 0z = 30

This is impossible, and we conclude that the equation has no existing solutions
