Answer:

no solutions

Explanation:

y = -3x +10

3x +y = 5

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

Let every instance of y in the second equation be replaced with -3x+10

3x+ (-3x+10) = 5

Combine like terms

10 =5

This is never true so there are no solutions

(These are parallel lines with the same slope but different y intercepts)
