    It's A.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's look at option A:

    From the second equation y = - 10 - x. Substituting in the first equation:

    -10 - x = x^2 + 3x - 5

    x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0

    Checking the discriminant b^2 - 4ac we get 16 - 4*1*5 = - 4 so there are no real roots. (A negative discriminant means no real roots).

    So A has no real solution.

    B.

    x^2 + 3x - 5 = (20 - 4x) / 5 = 4 - 0.8x

    x^2 + 3.8x - 9 = 0

    b^2 - 4ac = (3.8) ^2 - 4*1*-9 = 50.44 (positive) so there are real roots.

    C.

    x^2 + 3x - 5 = - 9 - x

    x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0

    b^2 - 4ac = 4^2 - 4*1*4 = 0 so there are real roots.
