Answer:

C) It is the only solution to the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 3y = -30

2x + y = -17

3(-7) + 3(-3) = -30

-21 + -9 = -30

-30 = -30

True

2x + y = -17

2(-7) + (-3) = -17

-14 + -3 = -17

-17 = -17

True

The lines defined by the equations are not parallel and the point is a solution to both of them.
It must be the point of intersection so it is the only solution to the system
