Pleaseee answer fast!!!! Solve the system of equation: y= 7/2x-3 and y= 7/2x +3

Answer:

No solution.

Explanation:

Because y equals 7/2x-3, and 7/2x+3, we can say that both of these equations are equal to each other.

Thus, we have 7/2x-3=7/2x+3

(7/2)x-6=(7/2)x

x-6=x

-6=0

This is a false statement, so therefore this system of equations has no solution.

However, you can clearly see this as these lines are parallel lines as they have the same slope, 7/2. The solution to a system of equation is the intersecting point, but as we know about parallel lines they never intersect!

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The answer is no solution because these two lines have the same slope, meaning they are parallel. Parallel lines never intersect.
