From eq. 1,
2x=6-4y
x=-2y%2B3
Substituting into eq. 2,
3%28-2y%2B3%29%2B6y-9=0
-6y%2B9%2B6y-9=0
0=0
True, but not actually yielding a solution.

Eq. 1 is actually a multiple of eq. 2,
%283%2F2%29%282x%2B4y-6%29=%283%2F2%29%280%29
3x%2B6y-9=0
So, they are the same equation so there are infinitely many solutions.
