The system of equations you've provided is:

\[
\begin{aligned}
1. \quad & ax - 3y + 2z = 1 \\
2. \quad & -x + 3y - (a+1)z = 2 \\
3. \quad & x - 3y + 2z = a
\end{aligned}
\]

Here, \( a \) is a parameter, and \( x, y, z \) are the variables. The goal would typically be to solve this system for \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \), possibly in terms of \( a \), or find conditions on \( a \) such that the system has a unique solution.

Let's start by solving the system. I'll proceed by manipulating these equations step by step.The solution to the system of equations is:

\[
x = -1
\]
\[
y = \frac{-a^2 - 2a - 3}{3(a - 1)}
\]
\[
z = \frac{-a - 2}{a - 1}
\]

This solution gives the values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) in terms of the parameter \( a \). Note that \( a \neq 1 \) is required to avoid division by zero in the expressions for \( y \) and \( z \).

Would you like more details or explanations on any specific step?

Here are 5 questions you might explore next:
1. What happens to the system if \( a = 1 \)?
2. Can the solution be simplified for specific values of \( a \)?
3. How does the behavior of \( z \) change as \( a \to 1 \)?
4. How can we verify this solution using substitution into the original system?
5. What does this system represent geometrically?

**Tip:** When solving systems with parameters, always check for values that make denominators undefined to avoid invalid solutions.

Solve the following system of equations with the parameter a:
1. ax - 3y + 2z = 1
2. -x + 3y - (a+1)z = 2
3. x - 3y + 2z = a
