You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x - y = 1
3x - y = 2
Solve each equation for "Y":
y=3x-1
Plot the points (0,-1), and (1,2)
Draw the line thru them
----------------------------
y=3x-2
Plot the points (0,-2) and (1,1)
Draw the line thru them
-------------------------
The lines are parallel; they never meet.
Therefore there is no solution to this system of equations.
