Once you get to 5=5 you are done. There are infinitely many solutions.
If you put the two equations to the same format, they are
y = 5x-5
y = 5x-5
They are the same line. Any solution to one of them is also a solution to the other.
Solve using substitution.If the system has infinitely many solutions, express your answer in terms of k. If the system is inconsistent, enter INCONSISTENT.
Here is my work:
y=5x-5
5x-y=5
5x-(5x-5)=5
5x-5x+5=5
5=5
y=5x-5
k=5x-5
5x=k+5
x=1/5k+1
x,y = (k/5+1, 5k-5)
