Answer 1

The solution of the system can be x - 3y = 4 only if both the equations can be simplified to x - 3y = 4.

This will mean that both the equations will result in the same line which is x - 3y = 4 and thus have infinitely many solutions.

Second equation is:

Qx - 6y = 8 
Taking 2 common we get:

(Q/2)x - 3y = 4

Comparing this equation to x- 3y = 4, we can say that 

Q/2 = 1
So,
Q = 2

Therefore, the second equation will be:

2x - 6y = 8
