1. **State the problem:**
We have a matrix equation $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}$ where $A$ is a $3 \times 3$ matrix, $\mathbf{b}$ is a $3 \times 1$ vector.
Given:
- $\mathbf{x}_p = \begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 1 \\ 2\end{pmatrix}$ is a particular solution to $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}$.
- $\mathbf{x}_h = \begin{pmatrix}1 \\ -1 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}$ is a solution to the homogeneous system $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0}$.
2. **Recall the principle:**
The general solution to $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}$ is given by:
$$\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{x}_p + \mathbf{x}_h$$
where $\mathbf{x}_p$ is any particular solution and $\mathbf{x}_h$ is any solution to the homogeneous system.
3. **Find more solutions:**
Since $\mathbf{x}_h$ is a solution to the homogeneous system, any scalar multiple of $\mathbf{x}_h$ is also a solution to $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0}$.
Therefore, more solutions to $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}$ are:
$$\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{x}_p + t \mathbf{x}_h = \begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 1 \\ 2\end{pmatrix} + t \begin{pmatrix}1 \\ -1 \\ 1\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}1 + t \\ 1 - t \\ 2 + t\end{pmatrix}$$
for any scalar $t$.
4. **Find at least 3 more solutions by choosing different values of $t$:**
- For $t=1$:
$$\mathbf{x} = \begin{pmatrix}1+1 \\ 1-1 \\ 2+1\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}2 \\ 0 \\ 3\end{pmatrix}$$
- For $t=2$:
$$\mathbf{x} = \begin{pmatrix}1+2 \\ 1-2 \\ 2+2\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}3 \\ -1 \\ 4\end{pmatrix}$$
- For $t=-1$:
$$\mathbf{x} = \begin{pmatrix}1-1 \\ 1+1 \\ 2-1\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}0 \\ 2 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}$$
These are three distinct solutions to $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}$.
**Final answer:**
$$\begin{pmatrix}2 \\ 0 \\ 3\end{pmatrix}, \quad \begin{pmatrix}3 \\ -1 \\ 4\end{pmatrix}, \quad \begin{pmatrix}0 \\ 2 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}$$
