Have you tired elimination of one of the variables?

Subtract the second equation from the first equation.
Be careful with the subtraction -2y - (-2y).
What do you get?

wolf1728 · Answer

The system of equations is inconsistent - it cannot be solved.

n0o0sha · Answer

i'll try that @mathstudent55

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

hint: let z = 3x-2y

that would lead to the system reducing to 
z = 6
z = 2

n0o0sha · Answer

i still don't get it @jim_thompson5910

wolf1728 · Answer

If z = 6 AND z = 2 then that means 
6=2
The equations are inconsistent

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

x and y represent numbers. They're unknown numbers

z is also an unknown based on what x and y would be

z can only be one number at a time. We can't say z = 6 and z = 2 at the same time. It's impossible to take on both values at once. Which is why this system has no solutions
