Exercise 13

Avg difficulty 3.0

An example following the definition of a vector space shows that the solution set of a homogeneous linear system is a vector space. In the terminology of this subsection, it is a subspace of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} where the system has nn variables. What about a non-homogeneous linear system; do its solutions form a subspace (under the inherited operations)?
