    There will be one solution. To solve that:

    1. Get the y alone by switching the places.

    6x+y=2 > y=2-6x

    -18x+3y=12 > 3y=12-18x > Then divide 3 on each number > y=4-6x

    After doing that, you can solve this in graphing or algebra way.

    Ima do the algebra way:

    SO we have 2 system of equations. Now pick one equestion.

    I will pick, y=2-6x. Now Ima replace the Y with the other equation y=4-6x >

    4-6x=2-6x.

    Now solve. And get > 0 aka Infinite Solution.

    See if they are paralell, if they are, there are no solutions

    thn see if they are the same line, if they are, there is infinite soutions

    so

    6x+1y=2

    -18x+3y=12

    divide 2nd equation by - 3

    6x-y=4

    compare

    6x+y=2 and

    6x-y=4

    they are actually perpenduclar

    mean 1 soltuions

    if yo wantedsoltion

    add

    6x+y=2

    6x-y=4 +

    12x+0y=6

    12x=6

    x=1/2

    6x+y=2

    6 (1/2) + y=2

    3+y=2

    y=-1

    x=1/2

    y=-1

    (1/2,-1)
