Can this system of equations be solved?
1. a1w + b1x = c
2. a2x + b2y = c
3. a3y + b3z = c
(note a1 and a2 are different variables)
ordinarily we need n equations for n variables. But here each equation only involves two variables. Seems like it might be possible.
Any ideas?

It can be solved. But one of you variables(or maybe more) will be "floating" - that means, that it can be every element of some domain, and the other variables will depend of it.

Hmm... and how can it be solved for a "floating variable"?

by floating, do you mean that one of the variables will be able to take any value within a certain domain, and the others depend upon what it is.
sorta like, you might have a = 10, and therefore b would be 6, and c would be 9, or if you set a = 12, you would have b = 3, and c = 12.
(random example) so that there isnt 1 single set of values that will satisfy the equations?

Exactly. In general.
