Answer:

No solution

Explanation:


\rightarrow \left \{ {{2y = 6x + 4} \atop {y = 3x - 4}} \right. \\\\

Multiply the second equation by 2 to make the "x" coordinates the same.


\rightarrow \left \{ {{2y = 6x + 4} \atop {2(y = 3x - 4)}} \right. \\\\


\rightarrow \left \{ {{2y = 6x + 4} \atop {2y = 6x - 8}} \right. \\\\

Subtract 6x from the first equation with the second equation


\rightarrow \left \{ {{2y = 6x + 4} \atop {-2y = -6x + 8}} \right. \\\\


\rightarrow 0y = 0x + 12

Simplify the R.H.S


\rightarrow 0 \\eq 12
