Answer:

There is one possible solution

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of solutions

We can proceed to solve the equation

we have two y values so we can directly equate the x parts

-2x - 4 = 3x + 3

3x + 2x = -3-4

5x = -7

x = -7/5

To get y, we substitute

We can only get one value of y too

So we have a point (x,y) as the solution to the system of equations
