Step-by-step explanation


\begin{gathered} 2x+3y=7---equation1 \\ 4x+6y=15----equation2 \end{gathered}

To solve the question using the elimination method

We will have to multiply equation 1 by -2 so that we can eliminate x


\begin{gathered} -4x-6y=-14 \\ 4x+6y=15 \end{gathered}

Simplifying further by addition


0+0=1

Hence, we will have


0=1

Hence, we have no solution

The answer is no solution
