To solve the given system of equations, we can use substitution or elimination. We will use substitution in this case.

Given equations are:

1. [tex]\( 2x - y = 7 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( y = 2x + 3 \)[/tex]

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. First, we will substitute the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] from the second equation [tex]\( y = 2x + 3 \)[/tex] into the first equation [tex]\( 2x - y = 7 \)[/tex].

[tex]\[ 2x - (2x + 3) = 7 \][/tex]

2. Now, simplify the equation:

[tex]\[ 2x - 2x - 3 = 7 \][/tex]

3. This simplifies further to:

[tex]\[ -3 = 7 \][/tex]

4. Since [tex]\(-3 = 7\)[/tex] is a contradiction (it is not true), there is no value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y \)[/tex] that can satisfy both equations simultaneously.

### Conclusion:

Given the contradiction we reached, there is no solution to this system of equations.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

no solution
