Answer:

C. More than 1 solution

Explanation:

Divide the second equation by 3.

y -x = -3

Add x.

y = x -3

This matches the first equation exactly, meaning that any solution to the first equation is also a solution to the second equation. There are an infinite number of possibilities. There is "More than 1 solution."
