Equation (2)
Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the x - variables are 4 and 6 and their least common multipe is 24, so multiply each equation by the value that will make the x - coefficient 24.![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/userfiles/image/steps_images/step2.JPG\")
Subtract the equations to elimante x - variable.
\Write the equations in column form and subtract the corresponding columns.

Because the equation 0 = 0 is true, this system has inifinite solutions.![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/userfiles/image/steps_images/solution.JPG\")
The system has inifinite solutions.
