Answer:

The system of linear equations refers to the solution set of various linear equations.

A consistent system can either be dependent (both equations represent the same line) or independent. In an independent system, the lines intersect at exactly one point, so there is exactly one solution. A dependent system has an infinite number of solutions and An inconsistent system has no solution, so no system of linear equations can have exactly two solutions.
