First of all, this problem doesn't have a solution. It is really
the same equation repeated twice. You can graph it, but you'd
be graphing just one line. Note this:

If you divide both sides by 2, you get
, which is the 2nd equation.
If they were parallel lines, they would not intersect, and
there still would be no solution, but you have the same
equation repeated.
