Does it mean it has infinitely many solutions or none at all? :)

Could you post the question exactly as it appears or post a screenshot of it?

aum · Answer

The two given equations represent two parallel lines and they will never intersect.  So there are no solutions.

@aum I am sorry I was absent for a few minutes, thank you for answering my question! I didn't know that lines that can never intersect represent no solutions. :) 
Thanks again!
