Answer:

The number of solutions to the given set of equations is 0.

Explanation:

Number of solutions of a system of equations:

System of equations: ax = b

If a = 0 and b = 0, infinite solutions.

If a = 0 and b != 0, zero solutions.

If a != 0 and b != 0, one solution.

We are given the following system of equations:

y = 7x + 12

y = 7x + 2

So

7x + 12 = 7x + 2

7x - 7x = 2 - 12

0x = -10

a = 0, b != 0, so zero solutions.

The number of solutions to the given set of equations is 0.
