Assuming that the second expression was meant to be the equation #3ycolor(red)=3/2x-3#
then the two equations are simply variations of the same thing, so infinitely many solutions are possible.

Explanation:

#2y=x-2color(white)("xxx")hArrcolor(white)("xxxx")2xx(color(blue)(y=x/2-1))#

#3y=3/2x-3color(white)("xxx")hArrcolor(white)("xxx")3xx(color(blue)(y=x/2-1))#

The given equations are colinnear and are in fact just variations of the linear equation which in standard form would be:
#color(white)("XXX")1x-2y=2#
