For this case we have the following system of equations:


6x + 3y = 6\\6x + 3y = 14

We multiply the first equation by -1:


-6x-3y = -6

We have the following equivalent system:


-6x-3y = -6\\6x + 3y = 14

We add the equations:


-6x + 6x-3y + 3y = -6 + 14\\0 = 8

Equality is not fulfilled, so the system of equations has no solution.
