Solve the problem.Let a1 = , a2 = , a3 = , and b =  .Determine whether b can be written as a linear combination of a1, a2, and a3. In other words, determine whether weights x1, x2, and x3 exist, such that x1 a1 + x2 a2 + x3 a3 = b. Determine the weights x1, x2, and x3 if possible.

A. x1 = 2, x2 = 1, x3 = 0
B. No solution
C. x1 = -2, x2 = -1, x3 = 1
D. x1 = -3, x2 = 0, x3 = 1
