    y+2x=4

    6x+3y=12?

    multiply the first equation by a factor of (3)...what do you get ? Did you do it ??

    3 * [y + 2x = 4] → 3y + 6x = 12

    compare to the second equation...what do you think ? You do think, right ??

    the equations are the SAME...there are an INFINITE number of solutions...the lines are COLLINEAR !

    These equations are one and the same.

    Thus cannot produce a solution.
