Answer:

D. No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 3x + 7[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x + 2[/tex]

Required

The number of solutions

We have:

[tex]y = 3x + 7[/tex] and [tex]y = 3x + 2[/tex]

Equate both i.e.

[tex]y = y[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]3x + 7 = 3x + 2[/tex]

Subtract 3x from both sides

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

[tex]7 = 2[/tex]

The above is false

i.e. [tex]7 \ne 2[/tex]

Hence, the system has no solution
