Multiple Choice

An operations manager is verifying if a proposed departmental budget allocation, represented as the ordered pair (x, y), is a valid solution to a system of two linear cost equations. After substituting the allocation into both equations, the manager finds that the first equation results in a true numerical statement (e.g., 500 = 500), but the second equation results in a false numerical statement (e.g., 500 = 550). Based on the formal rules for systems of equations, what is the correct conclusion?
