1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the following system of linear equations:
8x4y=68x - 4y = 6
12x6y=912x - 6y = 9
If there is no solution, we should enter "NO SOLUTION".

2. Solution Steps

First, let's simplify the given equations:
8x4y=68x - 4y = 6 can be simplified by dividing both sides by 2:
4x2y=34x - 2y = 3 (Equation 1)
12x6y=912x - 6y = 9 can be simplified by dividing both sides by 3:
4x2y=34x - 2y = 3 (Equation 2)
Notice that both equations are the same. This means that the system is dependent, and there are infinitely many solutions. To express the solution, we can solve for yy in terms of xx (or vice-versa).
From the equation 4x2y=34x - 2y = 3, we can solve for yy:
2y=4x32y = 4x - 3
y=4x32y = \frac{4x - 3}{2}
y=2x32y = 2x - \frac{3}{2}
The solution set can be expressed as (x,2x32)(x, 2x - \frac{3}{2}).

3. Final Answer

(x,y)=(x,2x32)(x, y) = (x, 2x - \frac{3}{2})
