3x - 9y = 9 --------------------------(1)

4x - 12y = 36 --------------------------(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 4 and then multiply equation(1) by 3

12x - 36y = 36 ---------------(3)

12x - 36y = 108 ------------------(4)

Subtract equation (4) from (3)

0 is not equal to -72

Hence the system has no solution
