An inconsistent equation is basically a hot mess in the world of math. It's when you have a system of equations that have no solution when graphed together. In other words, it's like trying to mix oil and water - they just don't play nice together. So, when you come across an inconsistent equation, it's basically telling you to go back to the drawing board and try again.

ProfessorOh, dude, an inconsistent equation is like when you're trying to solve a math problem, but the equation is all over the place and doesn't have a solution. It's basically a dead-end road in Mathville where the numbers just don't add up, and you're left scratching your head wondering what went wrong. It's like trying to mix oil and water - they just don't go together, man.

Give an example of an inconsistent equation?
x+5=10 and x+5=15
How can you tell if a equation is conditional inconsistent or identity?
3x2 -12x+24=-10x-20-3x2+6
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.
If a system of equation is inconsistent that means that the graphs of the two equations do not have any points in common what types of lines would be the result of an inconsistent system of equations?
In two dimensions, parallel ones. In three dimensions, either parallel or skew ones.
What describes a system of equations that has no solution?
Inconsistent.
