Answer:

D. no solution​

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the addition method we add the two equations.

First, we multiply the first equation by -2 to get


\begin{gathered} -2(3x+2y=10) \\ -6x-4y=-20 \end{gathered}

and now we add the system


\begin{gathered} -6x-4y=-20 \\ 6x+4y=14 \\ ------------ \\ 0+0=-6 \\ \end{gathered}

0= -6 is not true, and therefore, the equation given has no solutions.
