Every homogeneous system of linear equations has at least one solution, which is the trivial solution where all variables equal zero. This characteristic ensures that such systems are never inconsistent. Therefore, the statement is true. The discussion confirms that the existence of solutions in homogeneous systems is a fundamental property in linear algebra. The conclusion reached is that the statement is indeed true.

How about all variables equal to zero? That always works, doesn't it?
 
Yes, so this statement is true?
