    Go for c... IF you multiply the first equation by 4, we have 4x - 16y = 20, in which the constant for that expression is not the same as the one of other expression.

    Good luck!

    The answer is c. There is no solution. Try to get the x's and y's all on one side, then solve. From a fellow A+ Honors math whizz.
