Answer 1

The system can only be consistent and independent

Explanation:

We have to:

• If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent.

,

• If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.

,

• If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent

,

• If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent

We know that the system has 2 solutions, and we know that the system is only inconsistent when it has no solution, therefore the correct answer is:

The system can only be consistent and independent
