true,

since both sides are linear. you can either have one solution, infinite solutions, or no solutions.... and that is your only three choices.... it would be no solutions if both sides had the same slope... and it would be infinite if both sides equaled each other... so therefore it is one... because the two linear functions will only cross each other once.
