Solve T(x)=b for x, that is solve Ax=b to find x. The augmented matrix is
A[Ab]=[157|2375|2]
Reduce matrix to reduced row echelon form
[157|2375|2]R1R2R2+13R1R2[375208316383]
[375208316383]38R2R2R17R2R1[30990121]
[30990121]13R1R1[10330121]
Therefore, we get
x1+3x3=3x1=33x3
x2+2x3=1x2=12x3
That is
x=[x1x2x3]=[3x312x3x3]=[310]+x3[321]
Result: x is not unique.
