Consider a solutionof the linear system. Justify the facts stated in parts (a) and (b):
a. Ifis a solution of the system, then is a solution of the system.
b. Ifis another solution of the system, thenis a solution of the system .
c. Now suppose A is amatrix. A solution vectorof the systemis shown in the accompanying figure. We are told that the solutions of the systemform the line shown in the sketch. Draw the line consisting of all solutions of the system.

If you are puzzled by the generality of this problem, think about an example first:
Students are buying books for the new semester. Brigitte buys the German grammar book and the German novel, Die Leiden des jungen Werther, for in total. Claude spends on the linear algebra text and the German grammar book, while Denise buys the linear algebra text and Werther, for . How much does each of the three books cost?
