If you would like to know how many solutions are there to the following system of equations, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2x + 5y = -11 /*(-5)
10x + 25y = -55
_______________
-10x - 25y = 55
10x + 25y = -55
_______________
0 = 0

The correct result would be D. Infinitely many.
