What are the different types of systems of equations? What makes them different from one another?

inconsistent

Practice makes perfect
There are three types of systems of linear equations.
  1. A system of equations that has only one solution is said to be independent and consistent.
  2. A system of equations with infinitely many solutions is said to be dependent and consistent.
  3. A system of equations with no solution is said to be inconsistent.

We can use this to complete the sentence.

A system of equations that has no solution is said to be inconsistent.
