because y=y, you can set the equations to each other:
3x+5=3x-2
subtract 3x, so:
5=-2 (which is incorrect...so there is no solution to this system of equations...this means that the lines are parallel)

These two equations plot two lines that are parallel to each other and thus are mutually exclusive
Based on the information given they cannot be solved without getting or choosing a value for one of the unknowns

There is no solution. When you try to combine, you end up with this:
0 = -5
0 = -2
When you are faced with an incorrect equation, it means there is no solution.

Those are parallel lines. There is no solution.

x is apparently two different values at the same time?
