4x-6y=10
2x-3y=3

Multiply the second equation by -2 to make the coefficients of x the same; then add the two equations.

4x-6y=10
-4x%2B6y=-6
0+=+4

Both variables were eliminated, leaving us with an equation which is not true. That means there are no values of x and y for which the original two equations are both true.

There is no solution to the system of equations; the graphs are parallel lines.
