I'm using system of equations and I have to use either substitution or elimination. My two equations are 2x - 6y = 138x - 24y = 8

\begin{gathered} \text{Let:} \\ 2x-6y=13\text{ (1)} \\ 8x-24y=8\text{ (2)} \\ 4(1)-(2) \\ 8x-8x-24y+24y=52-8 \\ 0=44 \\ \text{This is an absurd} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the system doesn't have solution
