Answer:

We can solve the system of equations:

y - 3 = 5x (Equation 1)

y - 5x = 12 (Equation 2)

We can rewrite Equation 1 as y = 5x + 3 and substitute this expression for y in Equation 2:

(5x + 3) - 5x = 12

Simplifying, we get:

3 = 12

This is a contradiction, since 3 is not equal to 12. Therefore, the system of equations has no solution.
