Step-by-step explana

For a system of linear equations to have no solution the equations of the line must be parallel to each other but not lie on the same lines i.e. the slopes of the lines must be the same but the y-intercepts must be different.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1) Carry 3x from the right side to the left.
2) The 3x will cancel one another out.
3) You are left with.. 1c=2

4) Divide by 1 on both sides and you are left with c=2
