Answer

No solution

Work Step by Step

We are given $x+y=11$ $\rightarrow y=-x+11$ The slope is $-1$. The y-intercept is $11$. $x+y=16$ $\rightarrow y=-x+16$ The slope is $-1$, and the y-intercept is $16$. The lines have the same slopes and different y-intercepts. The equations are inconsistent. The lines are parallel. Therefore, this system has no solution.
