No because there are no equations there to choose from.

Since there are two variables involved ... 'x' and 'y' ... a solution requires two equations. That's why the collection of equations is called a "system" of them. So far, in your question, you have supplied one equation. We eagerly await the arrival of the second one, so that we may begin working on the solution.
Without any equality signs the given terms can't be considered to be equations
The pair of equations: x + y = 1 and x + y = 3 have no solution. If any ordered pair (x,y) satisfies the first equation it cannot satisfy the second, and conversely. The two equations are said to be inconsistent.
y = x - 1 y - x = 3 y = x - 1 y = x + 3 Since both equations represent straight lines that have equal slopes, 1, then the lines are parallel to each other. That is that the lines do not intersect, and the system of the equations does not have a solution.
