there is no linear equations that has no solution every problem has a solution
It is a system in which the solution set is a straight line.
A system of linear equations that has at least one solution is called consistent.
Quite simply, the latter is a group of the former.A system of linear equations is several linear equations taken together, each using the same group of unknowns. Usually, such a system provides one linear equation for each unknown (x, y, z, et al) that must be found (more complex systems can exist, though). You can use and manipulate these linear equations as you would a single linear equation to help solve for the unknowns. One way is to reduce all but one of the unknowns so that each can be expressed in terms of the remaining unknown and then solve for the remaining unknown which would in turn give you the others.
A system of linear equations that has one unknown is a set of equations that all depend on the same variable. An example is y = 1 + 3x and y = 4 + 7x.

It is a system of linear equations which does not have a solution.
The solution of a system of linear equations is a pair of values that make both of the equations true.
It is a system in which the solution set is a straight line.
A system of linear equations can only have: no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.
A system of linear equations that has at least one solution is called consistent.
yes it is possible for a system of two linear inequalities to have a single point as a solution.
No, if two lines are parallel they will not have a solution.
It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!It can happen. Then there is no solution!
The solution to a system on linear equations in nunknown variables are ordered n-tuples such that their values satisfy each of the equations in the system. There need not be a solution or there can be more than one solutions.
