It depends. Partly on the domain over which your system of equations is defined - are they integer solutions? Reals or complex numbers? Are the equations linear or more complicated?

In any case, there can be none, one or many - including infinitely many.

If the system is inconsistent eg

a + b = 3

a + b = 2

then there are no solutions.

If the system is incomplete (the relevant matrix is singular), you have an infinite number:

a + b + c = 1

a + 2b + 3c = 2

has an infinite number of solutions.

A set of n independent linear equations in n unknowns will have a unique solution.

A single equation such as (a-2)2 + (b-3)2 + (c-7.5)2 = 0

has a unique real-number solution since each on the brackets MUST be zero.

If a system of equations is independent how many soultions will it have?

A system of equations may have any amount of solutions. If the equations are linear, the system will have either no solution, one solution, or an infinite number of solutions. If the equations are linear AND there are as many equations as variables, AND they are independent, the system will have exactly one solution.

How many solutions did this linear system have?

To determine how many solutions a linear system has, we need to analyze the equations involved. A linear system can have one unique solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution at all. This is usually assessed by examining the coefficients and constants of the equations, as well as using methods like substitution, elimination, or matrix analysis. If the equations are consistent and independent, there is one solution; if they are consistent and dependent, there are infinitely many solutions; and if they are inconsistent, there are no solutions.

How many solutions does this system have?

To determine how many solutions a system has, we need to analyze the equations involved. Typically, a system of linear equations can have one solution (intersecting lines), infinitely many solutions (coincident lines), or no solution (parallel lines). If you provide the specific equations, I can give a more accurate assessment of the number of solutions.


Why a system of linear equations cannot have exactly two solutions?

A system of linear equations can only have: no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.

How many solutions would you expect for this system of equations?

To determine the number of solutions for a system of equations, one would typically analyze the equations' characteristics—such as their slopes and intercepts in the case of linear equations. If the equations represent parallel lines, there would be no solutions; if they intersect at a single point, there is one solution; and if they are identical, there would be infinitely many solutions. Without specific equations, it's impossible to provide a definitive number of solutions.


If a system of equations is dependent how many solutions will it have?

Infinite simultaneous solutions. (The two equations represent the same line) OR If your in nova net the answer should be ( Many )


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.
