Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals" etc. And using ^ to indicate powers (eg x-squared = x^2).

However, since the second multiplied by 1.5 would be

3x - 6y 4.5

Comparing this equation with the first, the two have the same coefficients for the variables x and y but the constant term is different. Consequently, the system is inconsistent.

What makes an equation either inconsistent consistent dependent or independent?

That doesn't apply to "an" equation, but to a set of equations (2 or more). Two equations are:* Inconsistent, if they have no common solution (a set of values, for the variables, that satisfies ALL the equations in the set). * Consistent, if they do. * Dependent, if one equation can be derived from the others. In this case, this equation doesn't provide any extra information. As a simple example, one equation is the same as another equation, multiplying both sides by a constant. * Independent, if this is not the case.


What is dependent and inconsistent system?

Suppose we have two linear equations in two unknowns. If the equations are plotted on a rectangular grid, the graph will fit one of these scenarios: 1) The two lines cross each other (intersect). 2) The two lines don't cross - they are parallel lines 3) The two lines fall on top of each other - they're really the same line. In case 3) the two lines are dependent - one can be changed into the other. In cases 1) and 2) we say the lines are independent. If the pair of equations has a solution (one or more points in common) we say they are consistent ... cases 1) and 3). In case 2) the system is inconsistent; there is no solution. To summarize: 1) Intersecting lines are consistent and independent. 2) Parallel lines are inconsistent and independent. 3) Coincident ["happen together"] lines are consistent and dependent. *** A second order linear system CANNOT be both dependent and inconsistent.

What is consistent and dependent?

The terms consistent and dependent are two ways to describe a system of linear equations. A system of linear equations is dependent if you can algebraically derive one of the equations from one or more of the other equations. A system of linear equations is consistent if they have a common solution.An example of a dependent system of linear equations:2x + 4y = 84x + 8y = 16Solve the first equation for x:x = 4 - 2yPlug that value of x into the second equation:16 - 8y + 8y = 16, which gives 16 = 16.No new information was gained from the second equation, because we already knew 16 = 16, so these two equations are dependent.An example of an inconsistent system of linear equations:Because consistency is boring.2x + 4y = 84x + 8y = 15Solve the first equation for x:x = 4 - 2yPlug that value of x into the second equation:16 - 8y + 8y = 15, which gives 16 = 15.This is a contradiction, because 16 doesn't equal 15. Therefore this system has no solution and is inconsistent.


How many solutions does an consistent and dependent system of equations have?

It has more than one solutions.

What are the three kinds of linear equations?

The three types of linear equations are: Consistent Dependent, Consistent Independent, and Inconsistent.


What is the difference between a consistent independent system a consistent dependent system and an inconsistent system?

A consistent independent system has exactly one solution, meaning the equations intersect at a single point. A consistent dependent system has infinitely many solutions, as the equations represent the same line or plane. An inconsistent system has no solutions, as the equations represent parallel lines or planes that never intersect.

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.


The three quantities of solution linear equations?

The three quantities of solution for linear equations are consistent, inconsistent, and dependent. A consistent system has at least one solution, either unique or infinitely many. An inconsistent system has no solutions, meaning the equations represent parallel lines that never intersect. A dependent system has infinitely many solutions, indicating that the equations represent the same line in different forms.

What is consistent system?

A consistent system of equations is one in which there is at least one set of values for the variables that satisfies all the equations simultaneously. In graphical terms, this means that the lines or planes represented by the equations intersect at one or more points. A consistent system can be classified as either independent (with a unique solution) or dependent (with infinitely many solutions). In contrast, an inconsistent system has no solutions, meaning the equations represent parallel lines or planes that do not intersect.


Are Linear equation systems consistent or inconsistent?

It depends on the equations.


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 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.


Is the system of equations is consistent consistent and coincident or inconsistent?

A system of equations is considered consistent if it has at least one solution, and it is coincident if all solutions are the same line (infinitely many solutions). If the system has no solutions, it is inconsistent. To determine the nature of a specific system, you need to analyze its equations; for example, if two equations represent the same line, it is consistent and coincident, while parallel lines indicate inconsistency.
