for the equation i just gave it also says to solve it by letting y equal each side fo the equation and graphing. there is a graph off to the side. so what does all this mean?

you would end up with
y = w + 3.14 which is a straight line on the w-y grid, w along the horizontal.
Its slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 3.14

the second equation would be
y = w + 3.19 after you simplify the right side.
It also has a slope of 1 but a y-intercept of 3.19, slightly higher.

So you have two parallel lines slightly apart, obviously they cannot meet, as a result, no solution as noted in my previous reply to the other posting.
y=-3x+2,y+3x=-4
