Answer:

This system has one solution (x=2 and y=2), then the answer is A.

Explanation:

The system of equations is:


3x+y=8 (1)


2x+2y=8 (2)

Let's multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract it to the second equation


6x-2x+2y-2y=16-8


4x=8


x=2

Using this value in (1) we can find y.


3(2)+y=8


6+y=8


y=2

Therefore, this system has one solution (x=2 and y=2), the answer is A.

I hope it helps you!
