Linear algebra matrices

For this matrices if you let 𝘃1=(x1,x2,x2) and let x1= alpha then what would x2 and x3 be?

Would they both be =0?

Ok, so you were asking about the evector for evalue=3? Obviously x2 can take any value as its coefficients are zero in each equation. The last row gives x3=0 and the first row gives x1=0.
