It probably means that one of the equations is a linear combination of the others/ To that extent, the system of equations is over-specified.

What type of solution does the following linear system have 3x 6y equals 6 x 2y equals 12?

To analyze the linear system given by the equations (3x + 6y = 6) and (x + 2y = 12), we can simplify both equations. The first equation can be rewritten as (x + 2y = 2) by dividing by 3. Now we have the system: (x + 2y = 2) (x + 2y = 12) Since both equations cannot be true simultaneously (they represent parallel lines), the system has no solution.


When solving a system of equations by substitution what is meant by a useless result 12 equals 12?

In the context of solving a system of equations by substitution, a "useless result" like 12 equals 12 indicates that the two equations are actually dependent, meaning they represent the same line or have infinitely many solutions. Instead of finding a unique solution, you end up with a tautology that confirms the equations are equivalent. This suggests that any solution that satisfies one equation will also satisfy the other, leading to an infinite set of solutions rather than a single point of intersection.


What is the solution of this system 3x plus 4y equals 5 x-4y equals 7?

Add the two equations and get 4x = 12 so x = 3 and y = -1

Is the system of equations 3x-6y equals 12 and 2x-4y equals 3 dependent consistent inconsistent or independent?

The system is inconsistent because there is no solution, i.e., no ordered pair, that satisfies both equations. You can see that this will be the case by seeing that their graphs have the same slope (2) but different y-intercepts (2 and 3/4 respectively). So the lines are parallel and will not intersect.

What is the answer to 3.25p-14 equals 12?

Equations do not have "answers", a myth which is reinforced by the way algebra tends to be taught in schools. You can, however, solve equations for different things, particularly variables. If by the "answer", you mean the value of p, then we can solve it like this: 3.25p - 14 = 12 3.25p = 26 p = 26/3.25 p = 8
