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.


Are Linear equation systems consistent or inconsistent?

It depends on the equations.


The difference between consistent and inconsistent in algebra?

Consistent means that the equation does not have the same slopes. Inconsistent means that it has the same slope.


What is inconsistent system of linear equation?

It is a system of linear equations which does not have a solution.


What is the soution for the equation x plus 1 equals x plus 2?

There is no solution since the equation is inconsistent.


How do you determine a system of inconsistent equation?

If they are inconsistent and you try to solve them you will get something like: 5=0, which of course isn't true so... you can't solve them


Give an example of an inconsistent equation?

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.


How can you tell if a equation is conditional inconsistent or identity?

What is a system of equation that has no solution?

It is an inconsistent system of equations. --- Or perhaps you want examples? One pair of inconsistent equations: x + y = 4 x + y = 1 Another pair: y = x2 + 3 y = 1 (In the first equation of this pair, y is minimised when x = 0, when its value is 3. But the second equation claims that y = 1.)


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.
