Unique Solution of System of Equations

A system of equations has a unique solution when there is only one set of values for the variables that satisfies all the equations.

Inconsistent System of Equations

A system of equations is inconsistent if the equations describe parallel lines that never intersect, so there is no solution.

Consistent System of Equations

A system of equations is consistent if it has at least one solution.

Duplicate Ratio

Dividing a Quantity in a Ratio

To divide a quantity into parts based on a given ratio, first sum the parts of the ratio. Then, divide the quantity by the sum of the ratio parts, finding the value of '1 part.' Multiply this value by each ratio part to find the individual parts.
