An inconsistent system of equations is when you have 2 or more equations, but it is not possible to satisfy all of them at the same time. (E.g if you have 3 equations, but can only satisfy 2 at once, it is an inconsistent system).

What is inconsistent system of linear equation?
It is a system of linear equations which does not have a solution.
What happens when Cramer's rule is applied to dependent or inconsistent systems?
We call the coefficients of the variables in the system D, and we need to find the determinant of D. When D = 0, the system is either inconsistent or dependent. You need another method to solve it.
What types of lines would be the result of an inconsistent system of equation?
If you refer to linear equations, graphed as straight lines, two inconsistent equations would result in two parallel lines.
Which best describes a system of equations that has no solution?
An "inconsistent" set of equations. If they are all linear equations then the matrix of coefficients is singular.
Is the system of equations 3x-6y equals 12 and 2x-4y equals 3 dependent consistent inconsistent or independent?
The system is inconsistent because there is no solution, i.e., no ordered pair, that satisfies both equations. You can see that this will be the case by seeing that their graphs have the same slope (2) but different y-intercepts (2 and 3/4 respectively). So the lines are parallel and will not intersect.
How many solutions does an inconsistent system have?
How many solutions does an inconsistent system have
If a system has no solution what type of system is this?
It is an inconsistent system.
If a system has no solutions what type of system is this?
inconsistent
What is inconsistent equation?
An inconsistent equation (or system of equations) is one that has no possible solutions.
How many solutions does an inconsistent equation have?
An inconsistent equation (or system of equations) is one that has no possible solutions. That is precisely why we call it inconsistent; there is no solution set that can be substituted for its variable or variables that will make the equation (or system) true.
What describes a system of equations that has no solution?
Inconsistent.
What is a inconsistent line?
its a system of equations, with no solution
What is inconsistent system of linear equation?
It is a system of linear equations which does not have a solution.
If a system of equations is inconsitient how many solutions will it have?
If a system of equations is inconsistent, there are no solutions.
When will a system of linear equations be inconsistent?
When the matrix of coefficients is singular.
In solving a system of two linear equations or two functions by graphing what is meant by if the system is consistent or inconsistent?
A system of linear equations is consistent if there is only one solution for the system. Thus, if you see that the drawn lines intersect, you can say that the system is consistent, and the point of intersection is the only solution for the system. A system of linear equations is inconsistent if it does not have any solution. Thus, if you see that the drawn lines are parallel, you can say that the system is inconsistent, and there is not any solution for the system.
How many solutions does an inconsistent system of equations have?
If a system is inconsistent it cannot have any solutions.A system of equations is considered inconsistent when the lines are parallel which means they never intersect so there are no solutions.A system is considered consistent when they intersect at one point and have one solution (Also known as an independent system of equations).Dependent Systems are when the lines coincide (the same equation) so they have an infinite number of solutions.
