Answerno.
A system with two equations and three variable is known as a parametric equation and can be simplified, generally, to one equation with two variables.
You always need a number of equations equal to or greater than the number of variables you have to find any of the variables.
If you have more varibles than equations you can eliminate a number of variables equal to the number of equations minus one.
Edit: While this is correct, you can fudge an answer using a pseudoinverse. This minimizes one of the values, and then you can approximate the other two. Suppose you have:
3x + 2y + 4z = 0
x + 8y + 7z = 3
You can call this A*b = y, where
A = [3,2,4;1,8,7]
b = [x;y;z]
y= [0;3]
Then you can say
b=ay, where
a=A'(A*A')^(-1)
' indicated the transpose, and ^-1 indicates the inverse.
