Error, (in LinearAlgebra:-LinearSolve) inconsistent system

 Description This error occurs when Maple does not find a mathematical solution to a matrix equation representing a system of linear equations.   Sometimes, there is no solution to a given problem, which is a legitimate result.  In this case, there is nothing to fix; this is Maple's response that there is no solution available.

Examples

In this example, $\mathrm{Mat}$ has all zero entries while  does not. The system  has no solution.
