    No, it is not possible

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is possible if the dimension of nullity of matrix A is unity.

    That is, dim Nul A = 1

    for A = 15 * 19.

    The system has 19 variables, and by Rank Theorem, we have that

    rank A + dim Nul A = 15.

    Since the rank can be at most 19, the null space has to have dimension at least 4.
