Answer:

Option A. There is no solution.

Explanation:

we have


y=3x-4 ------> equation A


9x-3y=14 ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B


9x-3(3x-4)=14


9x-9x+12=14


12=14 ------> is not true

therefore

The system has no solution

Explanation

The slope of the line A is equal to
m=3

Find the slope of the line B


3y=9x-14------>
y=3x-(14/3)

The slope of the line B is equal to
m=3

therefore

Line A and Line B are parallel lines, because the slope is the same

The system has no solution
