It means that at least one of the equations can be expressed as a linear combination of some of the other equations.
A linear combination of equations is the addition (or subtraction) of equations. And since an equation can be added several times, it includes multiples of equations.
For example, if you have
x + 2y = 3
and
2x + y = 4
Then adding 2 times the first and 3 times the second gives
8x + 7y = 18
This is, therefore, dependent on the other 2.
If you have n unknown variables, there will be a unique solution if, and only if, you must have a set of n independent linear equations.
