Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a system of linear equations, what does it mean if the equations are inconsistent?
  • Step 1: Understand what a system of linear equations is. It is a set of two or more equations with the same variables.
  • Step 2: Visualize the equations as lines on a graph. Each equation represents a line.
  • Step 3: Check if the lines intersect. If they do, it means there is a solution where the lines meet.
  • Step 4: If the lines do not intersect at any point, this means there is no solution to the system.
  • Step 5: When there is no solution, we say the equations are inconsistent.
