Question

Why is the following system inconsistent?
t-s=1
t-s=2
2t=3s=0

Answer 1

look at the first 2 equations.

if
a=x
and
a=y

then x=y

apply that to the first 2 equations and see what oyu get....

Answer 2

Do you know what is inconsistent

Answer 3

Inconsistent is a system of equations which has no solutions.

Answer 4

The first reason is shown in the two statements:
t-s=1
t-s=2
Can the difference between the same two numbers be 1 AND 2?
Does 1=2? The second reason is shown in the third statement:
2t=3s=0
This statement is ONLY true for t=s=0, because we already know that ONLY 0 times any number is 0.So, comparing that to the first reason means:$$0=1=2$$

Answer 5

t-s=1
t-s=2
they are parallel :) so no solution

Answer 6

crap that was a very stupid question... dunno how I didn't notice that... guess was the stress from the exam coming up! thank you guys !!

Answer 7

:O it was good question :)
and good luck with exams !
