Try to solve this system of equations using the elimination method. $$\begin{array}{rl}-2(2x-3y)& =-2(8)\\ 6y-4x& =-16\\ 6y-4x& =9\\ 0& =-7\end{array}$$ Something is clearly contradictory so $\boxed{\text{There is no solution}}$ Alternatively, note that the second equation is a multiple of the first except that the constants don't match up. So, there is no solution.
