In professional computer-aided design (CAD) and structural modeling, linear equations are used to define flat surfaces known as planes in a three-dimensional workspace. Match each possible solution outcome for a system of three linear equations with its corresponding geometric description.

An architectural designer is modeling three flat roof panels for a new building using a system of three linear equations. In the three-dimensional model, the software indicates that these three panels (planes) intersect along a single, shared straight line. How many solutions does this system of equations have?

In a professional three-dimensional structural modeling environment, if all three planes representing a system of three linear equations perfectly coincide with each other as the exact same plane, the system is classified as having only one unique solution.

In a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) program, a structural modeler represents the surfaces of three flat roof supports as planes using a system of three linear equations. If these three planes are completely parallel to each other and never meet, the system of equations has ____ solutions.
