Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:


\begin{gathered} x-y=5 \\ x=y+1​ \end{gathered}

Substitute the second equation into the first:


\begin{gathered} x-y=5 \\ (y+1)-y=5 \\ y-y=5-1 \\ 0\\eq4 \end{gathered}

Since we have two unequal constants on both sides of the equation, the system has NO SOLUTION.
