solve system by elimination.
-12x-12y=-24
-6x-6y=-12
--------------
The 1st eqn is 2x the 2nd.
--> dependent, no unique solution.
-------
Using elimination gives 0 = 0, but we know that.

this is a "trick" question

multiplying the 2nd equation by 2 gives the 1st equation ___ they are the same equation

this means there is no unique solution for the system
