Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

They must satisfy [tex]y = \frac{1}{5}(x - 5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x - 5y = 5[/tex]

[tex]-x + 5y = -5[/tex]

Required

The best description

Add both equations

[tex]x - x - 5y + 5y = 5 - 5[/tex]

[tex]0+0 =0[/tex]

[tex]0 = 0[/tex] ---- this means that the system has infinitely many solutions.

Make y the subject in: [tex]-x + 5y = -5[/tex]

Add x to both sides

[tex]5y = x - 5[/tex]

Divide through by 5

[tex]y = \frac{1}{5}(x - 5)[/tex]

Hence, they must satisfy: [tex]y = \frac{1}{5}(x - 5)[/tex]
