Problem would be easier to do if you'd write one function above the other:

3x-2y=3; 6x-4y=1 should be:

3x-2y=3
6x-4y=1
------------


Please note that if you mult. the first equation by 2, you get 6x-4y= 6, which is almost but not quite the same as the second equation.
It should be obvious that 6x-4 in the first equation are the same expression as 6x-4 in the second equation. 6x-4 cannot = 6 and also =1 at the same time, so this system has NO solution. The 2 lines never intersect.
