Answer

The system is inconsistent. Therefore, the solution set is empty.

Work Step by Step

The first equation is already solved for $x$, then we have to substitute this expression into the second equation: $x=5y$ Second equation: $5(5y)-25y=5$ $0=5$ The system is inconsistent. Therefore, the solution set is empty.
