solving the system y = −x + 3 and x + y = 8 by graphing shows that there is no solution to the system. Is this statement true or false? Explain.

The system of linear equations is:

y = x + 5
y = -x + 5

To find the number of solutions, we can compare the slopes of the two equations. The first equation has a slope of 1, and the second equation has a slope of -1. Since the slopes are not equal, the two lines will intersect at exactly one point.

Therefore, the number of solutions to this system of linear equations is 1.
