By using elimination

Explanation:

By multiplying the first equation by 5, we get:
#5x-25y=-30#
By adding this equation the second equation to eliminate variable terms:
#5x-25y+(-5x+25y)=-30+2#
After simplifying, we get:
#0=-28#
which is obviously not true
Therefore, this system of equations has no solution.
