Determine whether each system of linear equations has (a) one and only one solution, (b) infinitely many solutions, or (c) not solution. Find all solutions whenever they exist.
x - 3y = -1
4x + 3y = 11
-----------------
Add to solve for "x":
5x = 10
x = 2
---
Substitute to solve for "y":
2 - 3y = -1
3y = 3
y = 1
----------------
one and only one solution
================================
