Answer: D


Step-by-step explanation:


Solve using substitution:

{ 2x+8y=28
2x+8y=29

Since both left sides are 2x+8y, you can set the right sides equal to each other:

28=29

This statement is false because 28 will never equal 29. This means that there is no solution (the lines never intersect).
