If you graphed those equations after putting them into slope-intercept form, you would see that the slope of both the lines is 1. Identical slopes tell us that the lines are parallel and that they will NEVER IN A BILLION TRILLION YEARS ever cross. Therefore, there is no solution. Second choice down.
