We are given a system of two linear equations: $5x + y = 14$ $3x - y = 10$ We need to find the solution to this system of equations by graphing. Based on the graphing, we need to choose whether the system has a unique solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. If there is a unique solution, we need to provide the ordered pair $(x, y)$.

1. Problem Description
We are given a system of two linear equations:
We need to find the solution to this system of equations by graphing. Based on the graphing, we need to choose whether the system has a unique solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. If there is a unique solution, we need to provide the ordered pair .
2. Solution Steps
First, let's rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form ().
Equation 1:
Subtract from both sides:
Equation 2:
Subtract from both sides:
Multiply both sides by -1:
Now we have the equations in slope-intercept form:
To find the solution, we set the two equations equal to each other:
Add to both sides:
Add 10 to both sides:
Divide by 8:
Now, substitute into either equation to find . Let's use :
Therefore, the solution is .
3. Final Answer
A. The solution to this system is (3, -1).
