.
In the first equation, cancel both sides by the factor of 2.
In the second equation, cancel both sides by the factor of 6.
You will get TWO IDENTICAL equations.
So, actually, your system is ONE equation.
Or, in other words, your original two equations are dependent.
Therefore, the original system has INFINITELY MANY solutions.
