Question 465482: Can you please show me step-by-step how i would solve this system of equation

4x-6y=1
6x-9y=1.5
This is how I did it:
4x=6y+1
6(6x-1)=10
3(6y+7)-9y=1.5
36y+6-9y=1.5
27y+6=1.5
27=-4.5
Is this correct?

Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
solve this system of equation
4x-6y=1
6x-9y=1.5
-----------------
Divide thru the 1st equation by 2.
Divide thru the 2nd equation by 3.
------------------
2x-3y = 1/2
2x-3y = 1/2
-----------
The two equations are the same.
The solution is all points of the form (x,(2/3)x-(1/6))
