There is no "solution" for this pair of equations; they represent two parallel lines (they do not intersect).
Explanation:
If you multiply
comparing this to the second given equation
we see that the left sides (containing all the variables) are identical
but the right side have different constant values.
Therefore the lines are parallel but not identical.
