Answer:

one​ solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:


\begin{gathered} y=11x-6 \\ y=-6x+11 \end{gathered}

Equating the two expressions of y:


\begin{gathered} 11x-6=-6x+11 \\ 11x+6x=11+6 \\ 17x=17 \\ x=(17)/(17) \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

Next, solve for y:


\begin{gathered} y=11x-6 \\ =11(1)-6 \\ =11-6 \\ y=5 \end{gathered}

Thus, we conclude that the system of equations has exactly one solution (1, 5).
