How many solutions does this linear system have? y is equal to 2 x minus 5 negative 8 x minus 4 y is equal to negative 20

Substitute y = 2x − 5 into the second equation: −8x − 4(2x − 5) = −20. Simplifying gives −16x + 20 = −20, so x = 2.5; then y = 2(2.5) − 5 = 0. The system has one solution, (2.5, 0), which is choice B.
