Analyzing Logistics Constraints

A logistics coordinator at a shipping hub is using the elimination method to solve a system of linear equations representing weight limits for three different cargo types (xx, yy, and zz):

{x+2y−3z=−1x−3y+z=12x−y−2z=2\left\{\begin{array}{l} x + 2y - 3z = -1 x - 3y + z = 1 2x - y - 2z = 2 \end{array}\right.

While performing the elimination steps, the variables are entirely removed, resulting in the final mathematical statement 0=−2{}0 = -2. Based on this outcome, identify the specific mathematical classification for this system and state what this result indicates about the existence of a solution for the cargo weights.
