Is it true that system of checks and balances ensures that the Judicial and legislative branches are always in agreement with the executive branch?
No, this is not true. "Checks and balances" is referring to three separate but equal powers that keep each other from becoming too powerful or from oversteping their boundries. With only one branch of government there would be no one to control it. Three branches keep each other in check and keep the power balanced.

How do checks and balances work?
I cannot give you a detailed answer but a brief description is that each branch of government can check each other. The executive branch can check congress and congress can check the judicial and the judicial can check the executive, correct me if I am wrong Some examples of checks and balances are: LEGISLATIVE TO EXECUTIVE~ must approve all cabinet members, ambassadors, etc. LEGISLATIVE TO JUDICIAL~ must approve all justices The senate also has the power to impeach the president and justices of the supreme court JUDICIAL TO EXECUTIVE~ declare acts unconstitutional JUDICIAL TO LEGISLATIVE~ can declare laws unconstitutional Justices are also appointed for life, but usually good behaviour as well EXECUTIVE TO LEGISLATIVE~ can veto bills and can also propose laws EXECUTIVE TO JUDICIAL~ can appoint justices and other judges The president is also head of the military. but yes checks and balances are basically that each branch of government can override the other so that one is not sole power.

Describe how the system of checks and balances might work in the federal government?
A simple explanation is that each of the three branches are inhibited by and can inhibit the other branches. The executive branch can inhibit the legislative by vetoing and can inhibit the Judicial by appointing judges. The legislative can inhibit the executive by overriding the veto and can inhibit the judicial by impeachment and how far their power stretches The judicial stops the executive by declaring its actions unconstitutional and the congress by interpreting the laws passed
