No solution exists for the given system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equation are :

3x+y=18 ---------(1)

3x+y=16 ---------(2)

Comparing the two equations (1) and (2), it can be determined that :

  • The x term and y term are same in both the equations.
  • This means, if both x and y are same, then the system of equations cannot be solved for x and y values.

The solution set for the system of equation is (x,y).

Since the given equations cannot be solved for x and y values, The system has NO SOLUTION.

Therefore, the option a) none is the solution of given system of equations.
