Suppose a 3x5 coefficient matrix for a system has three pivot columns. Is the system consistent? why or why not?

we have
1*1 + 8*1/100 + 9*1000

this can be written as,
1 + 0.08 + 0.009

we get 1.089

hope this help

Yes, well there can be many reasons but actually its not inconsistent as there are no zero rows meaning there is no row that just has 0's
