Answer:

NO SOLUTION

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's actually solve the system

x-4y=1

5x-20y=4

Let's eliminate y.  To do this, multiply the first equation by -5, obtaining

-5x + 20y = -5

Now add this result to the second equation:

-5x + 20y = -5

5x -  20y =  4

--------------------

           0   = -1

This result is never true.  Thus, this system of linear equations has NO SOLUTION.

The system of equations results in a false statement.

How to estimate the value of the system of equations?

Let's solve the system of equation

x - 4y = 1 ......(1)

5x - 20y = 4 ........(2)

By using the elimination method

Eliminate y by multiplying (1) by -5

We have,

-5x + 20y = -5 ...........(3)

Adding (3) and (2), then we get

(x - 4y = 1) + (-5x + 20y = -5)

-5x + 20y = -5

5x - 20y = 4

---------------------

      0 = -1

Therefore, the correct answer is option (a). The system results in a false statement.
