no solution

Explanation:

consider the 2 equations expressed in slope-intercept form

xy=mx+b

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

y=2x3(1)

y=2x+32(2)

both lines have m=2

Parallel lines have equal slopes

the 2 lines are therefore parallel and never intersect

there is no solution
graph{(y-2x+3)(y-2x-3/2)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
