No solution

Explanation:

The second equation divided by 3 would give -3x-2y=4. Now both the equations which represent a straight line give the same slope# -3/2#. Thus the two equations represent two parallel lines. These would never meet at a point. Hence there would be no solution. The system is thus inconsistent.
