If I have a matrix A and a vector w and I want to verify that w is included in the Im A, Why is solving [ A | w ] and it giving a solution (being consistent) prove that w is include in Im A? I am also not sure what consistent even means.

$begingroup$

A matrix equation $Ax = w$ is consistent if it has at least one solution $x$. If any solutions $x$ exist, then $w$ is in the image, or range of the matrix $A$. Think of the matrix $A$ as a function that maps a vector $x$ to another vector $w$. The output $w$ must be in the image of $A$.
