we can take a peek at two of those lines hmmm say y = 5x + 3 and y = 5x + 7.
let's notice, those two equations for those lines are in slope-intercept form, so let's solve the system.
since y = y then
5x + 3 = 5x + 7
3 = 7 what the?
well, notice, both lines have the same slope of 5, but different y-intercept, one has it at y = 3 and the other at y = 7, what does that mean?
it means that both lines are parallel to each other, one may well be above the other, but both are parallel, and since a solution to the system is where their graphs intersect, well, parallel lines never touch, so a system with two parallel lines has no solutions.
Anna picked 6 apples
Sabrina picked 7 <em>times</em> as many apples.
Multiply the two numbers together
6 x 7 = 42
Sabrina picked 42 apples
hope this helps
