System A


\begin{gathered} -x+5y-5=0 \\ x-5y=5 \end{gathered}

solve the second equation for x


x=5+5y

replace in the first equation


\begin{gathered} -(5+5y)+5y-5=0 \\ -5-5y+5y-5=0 \\ -10=0;\text{FALSE} \end{gathered}

The system has no solution.

System B


\begin{gathered} -X+2Y=8 \\ X-2Y=-8 \end{gathered}

solve the second equation for x


x=-8+2y

replace in the first equation


\begin{gathered} -(-8+2y)+2y=8 \\ 8-2y+2y=8 \\ 8=8 \end{gathered}

The system has infinitely many solutions, they must satisfy the following equation:


\begin{gathered} -x+2y=8 \\ 2y=8+x \\ y=(8)/(2)+(x)/(2) \\ y=(x)/(2)+4 \end{gathered}
