An operations analyst at a manufacturing plant is balancing three resource allocations, denoted by variables xx, yy, and zz. They model the resource constraints using the following system of linear equations:

{x+yz=02x+4y2z=63x+6y3z=9\left\{\begin{array}{l} x + y - z = 0 {}2x + 4y - 2z = 6 {}3x + 6y - 3z = 9 \end{array}\right.

After applying the elimination method and determining that y=3y = 3, the analyst concludes that the system is explicitly dependent and the general solution can be comprehensively represented by the ordered triple (z+3,3,z)(z + 3, 3, z) for any real number zz.
