Given:

The system of equations is,

2x+3y=0

6x+9y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the equation 2x+3y=0 by 3 and subtract from equation 6x+9y=8

.


\begin{gathered} 6x+9y-3(2x+3y)=8-3\cdot0 \\ 6x+9y-6x-9y=8-0 \\ 0=8 \end{gathered}

Since no variable left and left-hand side and right-hand side of the equation are unequal. So lines are parallel lines and there is no solution.

Answer: No solution
