Under-determined system
The system of linear equations
can be written as the matrix equation A⋅x = b, if

This system has more unknowns than equations, therefore, it is not uniquely
determined. We can visualize the meaning of this statement by realizing that
each of the linear equations represents a plane in the three-dimensional
Cartesian coordinate system (x
equations shown above will be the intersection of two planes in space. We
know, however, that the intersection of two (non-parallel) planes is a straight
line, and not a single point. Therefore, there is more than one point that
satisfy the system. In that sense, the system is not uniquely determined.
Let's use the numerical solver to attempt a solution to this system of equations:
