Answer

$\text{no solutions}$

Work Step by Step

We can write the systems of equations as: $$y=-x+3 \quad \quad(a) \\2x+2y=1 \quad \quad(b)$$ Substitute $y=-x+3$ into Equation $(b)$ to obtain: $$2x+2(-x+3)=1\\ 2x-2x+6=1 \\ 6=1$$ Since the result a false statement ($6$ is not equal to $1$), then the system has no solutions.
