What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

3x + y = 6
6x + 2y = 8

0

4

x can be any number as there are infinitely many solutions to the system.

There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.

3x + y = 6
+ 6x + 2y = 8
__________________________    First pick one variable to solve for x or y
9x            = 14
x=14/9
Then you can just plug in x into both equations to get y
If you get 2 different answers for y, then there is no solution
