Answer:


\mathrm{A)\:}-6

Explanation:

Notice that in the second equation, the coefficient of
y is
2 times greater than in the first. Therefore, by making the coefficient of
x in the second equation
2 times greater than in the first, it's impossible to only isolate one variable.

Therefore, when
a=-3\cdot 2=\fbox{-6}, there are no solutions to this system.
