-3x + y = 4

can be rewritten as follows:

3x -3x + y = 3x + 4

y = 3x + 4

this equation of a line and the equation y = 3x - 2, are parallel (they have the same slope but different y-intercept). Then there is no intersection between. In consequence, there is no solution for the system of equations.
