$-5 x+y=-17$
A) $(3,4)$
B) Infinite number of solutions
C) $(4,4)$
D) No solution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding the two equations directly eliminates both variables, resulting in $0 = 0$, which indicates that the system has an infinite number of solutions because the two equations are essentially the same line.
