Question

Solve the system of equations using the addition method: x - y =-5
-x + y =-5
A)x = -5, y = 0
B)inconsistent; no solution
C)dependent; many solutions
D)x = 0, y = 5

The system of equations is inconsistent because when you add the two equations, you get 0 = -10, which is a contradiction, indicating no solution exists.
