--------------------------
....eq.1
....eq.2->........multiply by
---------------------------

....eq.1
....eq.2
----------------------------add both eq.1 and eq.2




So we're left with which means any or value will satisfy the system of equations. So there are an number of (we have coplanar lines, two lines that lie exactly on top of each other, actually it's same line), and this system is .
