This statement is false. By substituting the y-value from the first equation into the second equation, we get:
x + (-x + 3) = 8
x - x + 3 = 8
3 = 8
This equation is not true, so the solution is inconsistent. Therefore, the system of equations has no solution. The statement is true.
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.
