Answer:

No solution.

Explanation:

2x + 3y = 4

4x + 6y = 9

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -2. Then write the second equation below it and add them.

-4x - 6y = -8

+ 4x + 6y = 9

-------------------------

0 + 0 = 1

Since the statement 0 = 1 is false, there is no solution to this system of equation.
