Answer:

E

Explanation:

Given the system of two equations:


\left\{\begin{array}{l}(2)/(3)x-(1)/(2)y=1\\ \\-(4)/(3)x+y=-3\end{array}\right.

Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second equation by 3 to eliminate fractions:


\left\{\begin{array}{l}4}x-3y=6\\ \\-4x+3y=-9\end{array}\right.

Add these two equations:


4x-3y-4x+3y=6-9\\ \\0=-3

You get false equality
(0\\eq -9), so the system of two equations has no solution (two equations represent parallel lines)
