1. **Problem Statement:** Classify the system of linear equations and find the solution if it exists.
---
### System A
Equations:
$$y = x + 1$$
$$y = -x + 1$$
2. **Classification:** These are two lines with different slopes ($1$ and $-1$), so they intersect at exactly one point.
3. **Find the solution:** Set the right sides equal since both equal $y$:
$$x + 1 = -x + 1$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x + 1 = -x + 1$$
$$x + x = 1 - 1$$
$$2x = 0$$
$$x = 0$$
5. **Find $y$:** Substitute $x=0$ into $y = x + 1$:
$$y = 0 + 1 = 1$$
6. **Solution:** $(0, 1)$
7. **Classification:** The system is **consistent independent** (one unique solution).

### System B
Equations:
$$y = -x + 3$$
$$x + y = 3$$
8. **Rewrite second equation:**
$$y = 3 - x$$
9. **Compare both equations:**
$$y = -x + 3$$
$$y = 3 - x$$
They are the same equation, so the lines coincide.
10. **Classification:** The system is **consistent dependent** (infinitely many solutions).
11. **Solution:** Infinitely many solutions along the line $y = -x + 3$.

### System C
Equations:
$$y = \frac{3}{2}x + 2$$
$$y = \frac{3}{2}x$$
12. **Classification:** Both lines have the same slope $\frac{3}{2}$ but different intercepts ($2$ and $0$), so they are parallel and do not intersect.
13. **Classification:** The system is **inconsistent** (no solution).
---
**Final answers:**
- System A: consistent independent, unique solution $(0,1)$
- System B: consistent dependent, infinitely many solutions
- System C: inconsistent, no solution
