A system of linear equations is two or more simultaneous linear equations. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of linear equations involving the same set of variables.
Inconsistent.
A "system" of equations is a set or collection of equations that you deal with all together at once. Linear equations (ones that graph as straight lines) are simpler than non-linear equations, and the simplest linear system is one with two equations and two variables.
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.
The pair of equations: x + y = 1 and x + y = 3 have no solution. If any ordered pair (x,y) satisfies the first equation it cannot satisfy the second, and conversely. The two equations are said to be inconsistent.
It is a system of linear equations which does not have a solution.
A set of equations is inconsistent, if its solution set is empty.
Any system of linear equations can have the following number of solutions: 0 if the system is inconsistent (one of the equations degenerates to 0=1) 1 if the system is linearly independent infinity if the system has free variables and is not 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.
An "inconsistent" set of equations. If they are all linear equations then the matrix of coefficients is singular.
Independence:The equations of a linear system are independent if none of the equations can be derived algebraically from the others. When the equations are independent, each equation contains new information about the variables, and removing any of the equations increases the size of the solution set.Consistency:The equations of a linear system are consistent if they possess a common solution, and inconsistent otherwise. When the equations are inconsistent, it is possible to derive a contradiction from the equations, such as the statement that 0 = 1.Homogeneous:If the linear equations in a given system have a value of zero for all of their constant terms, the system is homogeneous.If one or more of the system's constant terms aren't zero, then the system is nonhomogeneous.
If you refer to linear equations, graphed as straight lines, two inconsistent equations would result in two parallel lines.

The three types of linear equations are: Consistent Dependent, Consistent Independent, and Inconsistent.
It depends on the equations.
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).
