It is for some equations and not for others.
It is consistent with some equations, not with others.
If one (or more) of the equations can be expressed as a linear combination of the others. This is equivalent to the statements the matrix of coefficients does not have an inverse (or is singular), or the determinant of the matrix of coefficients is zero.
Independence:The equations of a linear system are independent if none of the equations can be derived algebraically from the others. When the equations are independent, each equation contains new information about the variables, and removing any of the equations increases the size of the solution set.Consistency:The equations of a linear system are consistent if they possess a common solution, and inconsistent otherwise. When the equations are inconsistent, it is possible to derive a contradiction from the equations, such as the statement that 0 = 1.Homogeneous:If the linear equations in a given system have a value of zero for all of their constant terms, the system is homogeneous.If one or more of the system's constant terms aren't zero, then the system is nonhomogeneous.

It is for some equations and not for others.
It probably means that one of the equations is a linear combination of the others/ To that extent, the system of equations is over-specified.
It is consistent with some equations, not with others.
Some equations change. Others don't depend on the choice of units.

In simple terms all that it means that there are more solutions than you can count!If the equations are all linear, some possibilities are given below (some are equivalent statements):there are fewer equations than variablesthe matrix of coefficients is singularthe matrix of coefficients cannot be invertedone of the equations is a linear combination of the others

All horses can jump. Some of them are better than others and have been bred for it, and others can not so well. But any horse should be able to clean a natural height.
