Answer:

The answer would be One solution.

Explanation:

Solving by substitution.

y=3x+2;y=2x+2

Step: Solve y=3x+2 for y:

y=3x+2

Step: Substitute 3x+2 for y in y=2x+2:

y=2x+2

3x+2=2x+2

3x+2+−2x=2x+2+−2x(Add -2x to both sides)

x+2=2

x+2+−2=2+−2(Add -2 to both sides)

x=0

Step: Substitute 0 for x in y=3x+2:

y=3x+2

y=(3)(0)+2

y=2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=0 and y=2

If it was no solution you would not be able to solve. If it was infinite then there would be infinite solutions, but there is not so One Solution is the answer.
