The system of linear equations

\(\left( {\begin{array}{ccc} 2&1&3\\ 3&0&1\\ 1&2&5 \end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{c} a\\ b\\ c \end{array}} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{c} 5\\ { - 4}\\ {14} \end{array}} \right)\) has

The correct answer is

infinitely many solutions

The third equation equals twice the first minus the second, including its right-hand side: 14=2(5)−(−4). The first two equations are independent, so both ranks are2 with3 unknowns. The system has infinitely many solutions.
