Answer: One solution

Explanation:

y = 3x + 3

y = -2x + 3

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To solve this, you need to understand a few things:

a) If two lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel when graphed and thus do not have any solutions

b) If two lines have the same slope and same y-intercepts, they are the same line when graphed and thus do not have infinitely many solutions

c) If two lines have different slopes (and/or y-intercepts), they have one solution

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These two lines have different slopes but the same y-intercept (condition c)

So they have one solution
