A 33-good market model gives the equilibrium system x+2y+3z=p1x+2y+3z=p_1, 2x+5y+tz=p22x+5y+tz=p_2, x+3y+4z=p3x+3y+4z=p_3, where tt is a tax-policy parameter. For which value of tt does this system fail to have a unique equilibrium (the coefficient matrix becomes singular) for every price vector (p1,p2,p3)(p_1,p_2,p_3)?
