Answer: c

This system has infinitely many solutions.

Explanation:

Solve by substitution:

1) Solve
y=2x-1 for
y:


y=2x-1

2) Substitute
2x-1 for
y in
2x-y-1=0:


2x-y-1=0


2x-(2x-1)-1=0

3) Simplify both sides of the equation:


0=0

Therefore, This system has infinitely many solutions.

Solve by elimination:

You can't solve this system of equations by elimination.

Solve by graphing:

The lines are directly on top of each other, Therefore there are infinitely many solutions.
