Infinitely many solutions
Explanation
[tex]\begin{gathered} -3x-5y+36z=40\Rightarrow equation(1) \\ -x+7z=5\Rightarrow equation(2) \\ x+y-10z=-10\Rightarrow equation(3) \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 1
in order to get a new equation with only x and z
a) multiply equation (3) by 5 and add the new equation to equation (1)
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y-10z=-10\Rightarrow equation(3) \\ \text{Multiplied by 5} \\ 5x+5y-50z=-50 \\ \text{add equation (1)} \\ 5x+5y-50z=-50 \\ -3x-5y+36z=40\Rightarrow equation(1) \\ _{------------------} \\ 2x-14z=-10\Rightarrow equation(4) \end{gathered}[/tex]b) now use equations ( 2) and (4) to find x and z
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x-14z=-10\Rightarrow equation(4) \\ -x+7z=5\Rightarrow equation(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]isolate x in both sides, then set equal
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x-14z=-10\Rightarrow equation(4) \\ 2x=-10+14z \\ x=\frac{-10+14z}{2} \\ -x+7z=5\Rightarrow equation(2) \\ 7z-5=x \\ x=7z-5 \end{gathered}[/tex]x= x, so
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=x \\ \frac{-10+14z}{2}=7x-5 \\ solve\text{ for z} \\ -10+14z=2(7z-10) \\ -10+14z=14z-10 \\ -10+10=14z-14z \\ 0=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]when we end with 0=0 , then it means that the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation are equal to each other regardless of the values of the variables involved; therefore, its solution set is all real numbers for each variable
therefore, the answer is
Infinitely many solutions
