System of
Equations
A system comprises of 2 or more equations that
are being considered at the same time with all
ordered pairs or coordinates as the common
solution set .

7. Consistent
System
Inconsistent
System
A system of Independent Equations that shares no
common solutions or no common coordinates,
meaning these linear equations result with 2 non-
intersecting parallel lines, and when solving by
elimination, all variables are eliminated and the
resulting statement is FALSE .
A system of equations that has either only one
solution where the 2 lines intersect at a
coordinate (x,y), or infinite number of solutions
where the 2 parallel lines share a common set of
coordinates, or infinite number of solutions
where the 2 parallel lines are coincide.
Dependent
System
A system of equations that shares an infinite
number of solutions since these equations are
equivalent, therefore, resulting with 2 coincide
lines. When solving by elimination, all variables
are eliminated and the resulting statement is
TRUE.

Independent
System
A system of unequivalent equations, where all
variables are eliminated and the resulting
statement is FALSE, has no common solutions.
