Answer:

the answer is no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

the solution is found at the point in which the two lines intersect.

in this case they do not intersect because the lines are parallel. if you rearrange 2x – y = 7 you will get y = 2x - 7. the slope is 2x

the slope of the second equation is 2x as well. when slopes are the same they are parallel and therefore never cross.

For this case we have the following system of equations:

[tex]2x-y = 7\\y = 2x + 3[/tex]

To solve, we substitute the second equation in the first:

[tex]2x- (2x + 3) = 7\\2x-2x-3 = 7\\-3 = 7[/tex]

As noted, equality is not fulfilled. Thus, the system has no solution.

It can also be observed that the equations are:

[tex]y = 2x + 3\\y = 2x-7[/tex]

That is, they have the same slope, [tex]m = 2[/tex], so the lines are parallel. If the lines are parallel, they never intersect.

Answer:

The system has no solution
