    the system has no solution. Letter "C"

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to solve this system we will multiply the first equation by "-2" and the second by "5". We have:

    5*x + 5*y = 20 * (-2)

    2*x + 2*y = 8 * (5)

    -10*x - 10*y = - 40

    10*x + 10*y = 40

    We now sum both equations:

    0 + 0 = 0

    Since all the variables got cancelled by the sum the system has no solution. Letter "C".
