Systems of Linear Equations Comments If a system has a solution, call it consistent If a system doesn’t have a solution, call it inconsistent If , the system is called homogeneous. A homogeneous system always has the trivial solution If two systems have the same solution, then they are called equivalent. The solution strategy for linear systems is to transform the system through a series of equivalent systems until the solution is obvious
