alleryStart learning →A system of equations with no solution at all is described as:
AInterstellar
BInconsistent
CIncandescent
DInexpensive
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Inconsistent
1. The opposite case is a system that nothing satisfies.
2. No pair of values can make both equations true at the same time.
3. An inconsistent system of equations is a system of equations with no solution.
4. So the answer is inconsistent.
