1. 3x-2y=24
2. 6x-4y=-6
Note that we can write the first equation as -2y=-3x+24
and the second as -4y=-6x-6
Now divide the first equation by -2 and the second by -4
1. y=3/2x-12
2. y=3/2x+6/4
This tells us the lines have the same slope and different y intercepts which means they are parallel. There is NO solution.
If you use elimination or substitution you find the same thing.
Note, if you try emiminate you end up with 0y=-54 which is not true also telling you there is no solution.

How many solutions are there to the following system of equations 2x-y equals 2 AND -x plus 5y equals 3?
How many solutions are there to the following system of equations?2x - y = 2-x + 5y = 3if this is your question,there is ONLY 1 way to solve it.
How do you solve equations with fraction?
You solve equations with fractions the same way you solve other equations. You perform various arithmetic operations on both sides of the equals sign until you get the result you want.
9x plus 5y equals 3550?
To solve for two unknown variables (x and y) you require two independent equations,
Solve the equation for x plus 37 equals 98?
why will the equations x+14=37 and x-14=37 have different solutions for x
What is the answer to X if 7x plus 3y equals 14?
It is not possible to solve one equation in two unknowns (x and y). Two independent equations are required.
