no answer as if we devide eqn 2 by 4 we gt
2x+3y=3
same thing(2x+3y) cant be equal to 6 and 3

reduce 8x + 12y = 12 by dividing the whole equation by -4
therefore you get -2x - 3y = -3
So,
-2x - 3y = -3
2x + 3y = 6
-----------------
0x + 0y = 3
When this happens, both of the lines are parallel and not touching. This system of equations haas no solutions because of this fact.

The LHS of both equations are identical; since the RHS of both equations are unequal, no solution is possible as written
