Explanation:

Since the equations will have a different slope, there must lie only one solution so the 1st two options are wrong.

Let solve using substitution


d = e + 4


e + 4 + e= 2


2e + 4 = 2


e = - 1

Plug this back in for one of the equations,


d - e = 4


d - ( - 1) = 4


d + 1 = 4


d = 3

So the solution is (3,-1).
