To determine the number of solutions in the given system:

1. **Identify the equations**:
- First equation: \( y = 3x + 7 \)
- Second equation: \( y = 3x - 5 \)

2. **Compare the slopes**:
- The slope of the first equation is \( 3 \).
- The slope of the second equation is also \( 3 \).

Since both slopes are the same, the lines are parallel.

3. **Compare the y-intercepts**:
- The y-intercept of the first equation is \( 7 \).
- The y-intercept of the second equation is \( -5 \).

Since the y-intercepts are different, this confirms that the lines do not intersect.

### Conclusion:
This system has **no solution** because the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.

The correct response is:
**This System has no solution because the slopes are the same and the y-intercept is different.**
