Answer:

(a) no solution

Explanation:

Writing the second equation in slope-intercept form, it becomes ...

3x -y = 2 . . . . given

y = 3x -2 . . . . add y-2 to both sides

The first equation is already in slope-intercept form:

y = 3x +3 . . . . first equation

The coefficients of x in the two equations are both 3, so the lines they describe are parallel. They do not intersect, so there is no solution.
