    The system has NO solutions

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Incompatible System of Equations

    It's a system of equations that has no solutions because the conditions are contradictory. Let's set this equation:

    x+y+3=5

    It's clear that

    x+y=2

    Now, let's multiply the first equation by - 1

    -x-y-3=-5

    It continues to be that

    x+y=2

    The sum of two unknowns cannot change because we multiply an equation by a number. Now let's modify the last equation

    -x-y+3=5

    This equation leads to

    x+y=-2

    a contradictory condition since x+y should remain equal to 2. This equation and the first one form a system with no solutions. Let's now add the very first equation and this last modified one, we get

    6=10

    This contradictory outcome results from managing a system that has NO solutions
