Whatare these Nash equilibria in this case?(3) Is it possible to find a number x such that the game has no Nash equilibrium?For each of your answers above, an explanation needs to be provided.

Consider a simultaneous move game with two players. Player 1 has three possible actions (A, B, or C) and Player 2 has two possible actions (D or E.) In the payoff matrix below, each cell contains the payoff for Player 1 followed by the payoff for Player 2. Identify any pure strategy Nash Equilibria in this game. If there are none, state this clearly.
