There will be no solution if y=0
If you want the solutions to be entire numbers ( no fractions ) there will be 16 soltutions where a belong to N:n=(3,6,12,24)
and b belong to M:m=(3,6,12,24) and the solutions belong to (NxM).
If the solutions accept fractions then there will be in infinite set of solutions

eqn(1)X2=====> 6x+2ay=4
eqn(2) ======>-6x+4y=b
it comes as 2a=b
so it has infinite number of solutions....
