Let S be the set of all column matrices b1b2b3 such that b1,b2,b3∈R and the system of equations (in real variables) −x+2y+5z=b1; 2x−4y+3z=b2; x−2y+2z=b3 has at least one solution.
Then, which of the following system(s) (in real variables) has (have) at least one solution for each b1b2b3∈S?
Answers:A. x+2y+3z=b1, 4y+5z=b2 and x+2y+6z=b3 · D. sx+2y+5z=b1, 2x+3z=b2 and x+4y−5z=b3
