C. 0

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Let's graph the situation

a)you notice that the slope is the same, it means the lines are parallel

b)the y-intercepts are different:the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis

hence, we need to graph two parallel lines that cross the y-axis at a different point

Step 2

conclude:

We find that since there is no common point, so there is no ordered pair that makes both equations true. Hence, there is no solution to the given system of equations.

therefore, the answer is 0 solutions

C. 0

I hope this helps you
