Not quite sure of the direction of the argument required.

Any inequality can be made into an equality by using an auxiliary variable. For example,

x + 2y < 3 is equivalent to x + 2y - a = 3 where a is some positive variable. [This method is used in linear programming.]

Conversely, any equality can be written as a combination of two inequalities. For example,

x + 2y = 3 is the same as

x + 2y ≤ 3 and x + 2y ≥ 3

Can a system of equations have more than two inequalities?

A system of equations can have any number of inequalities.


What are the uses of linear inequalities?

In question and answer logic answers are given and if they fall in an area bounded by the inequality then it is a good answer. After graphing three or more inequalities the vertexes are the possible maxima of the system of equations.


What are the solutions to system of inequalities?

Systems of inequalities in n variables with create an n-dimensional shape in n-dimensional space which is called the feasible region. Any point inside this region will be a solution to the system of inequalities; any point outside it will not. If all the inequalities are linear then the shape will be a convex polyhedron in n-space. If any are non-linear inequalities then the solution-space will be a complicated shape. As with a system of equations, with continuous variables, there need not be any solution but there can be one or infinitely many.


A system of linear equations that has soluton is?

A system of linear equations that has at least one solution is called consistent.


In solving a system of two linear equations or two functions by graphing what is meant by if the system is consistent or 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.

What is the definition of a linear system and how does it relate to solving equations with multiple variables?

A linear system is a set of equations where each equation is linear, meaning it involves variables raised to the power of 1. Solving a linear system involves finding values for the variables that satisfy all the equations simultaneously. This process is used to find solutions to equations with multiple variables by determining where the equations intersect or overlap.


What is a method for solving a system of linear equations in which you multiply one or both equations by a number to get rid of a variable term?

It is called solving by elimination.

What is a linear system and how does it relate to mathematical equations?

A linear system is a set of equations involving multiple variables that can be solved simultaneously. These equations are linear, meaning they involve only variables raised to the first power and do not have any exponents or other non-linear terms. Solving a linear system involves finding values for the variables that satisfy all of the equations in the system at the same time. This process is often done using methods such as substitution, elimination, or matrix operations.


How did the system of equations develop?

The system of equations developed from the early days with ancient China playing a foundational role. The Gaussian elimination was initiated as early as 200 BC for purposes of solving linear equations.
