.

The second equation of the system is equivalent to the first one, because they differ by only the multiplier 2 (or )
applied to the left part and the right part.

Due to this reason, the equations are dependent and consisted.

They have infinitely many common solutions.


Note. You mistakenly use the term "coincident" in the section A.
      This term is not applicable to systems of equations.
