you use simultaneous equations:
2x+4y=12
3x+6y=8
but with this equation it is impossible to solve

2x + 4y = 12 Divide by 2
x + 2 y = 6 Solve for x
x = -2y +6 replace in other equation
3(-2y + 6) + 6y = 8
-6y +18 +6y =8
-6y +6y = -10
Problem is undefined

the equations don't give you any solution.
first eqn can be reduced to
x+2y=6 (by dividing throughout by 2)
and second one becomes:
x+2y=8/3 (divide by 3 throughout)
Both the equations are inconsistent and hence, no solution.

this set of equation will have no solution as the equations are contradicting themselves.
in one case x+2y = 6 and in the other x+2y = 8/3
so, the solution is not possible.
