    Since y is a solution of the homogeneus system then satisfies Ay=0.

    Since z is a solution of the system Ax=b then satisfies Az=b.

    Now, we will show that A (y+z) = b.

    Observe that A (y+z) = Ay+Az by properties of the product of matrices.

    By hypotesis Ay=0 and Az=b.

    Then A (y+z) = Ay+Az=0+b=b.

    Then A (y+z) = b, this show that y+z is a solution of the system Ax=b.
