4X + 7Y = 3 so far so good.
4X + 7Y = 3 = 5?
3 cannot be equal to 5, so no solutions.

.
The two equations have identical left side, but different right sides.

It can not happen, so the system has no solutions.

It represents two parallel straight lines that have no intersections and have no common points.

In the geometric language. it means that the system has no solutions.
