To solve the system of equations:

1. \(-3x + 2y = -6\) (Equation 1)
2. \(9x - 6y = 9\) (Equation 2)

Let's simplify Equation 2 first. Notice that we can divide all terms by 3:

\[
3x - 2y = 3 \quad \text{(Equation 2 simplified)}
\]

Now we have:
1. \(-3x + 2y = -6\)
2. \(3x - 2y = 3\)

Next, we can add both equations together to eliminate \(y\):

\[
(-3x + 2y) + (3x - 2y) = -6 + 3
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
0 = -3
\]

Since this statement is false (0 does not equal -3), it indicates that the equations are inconsistent and, therefore, there is no solution to the system of equations. The lines represented by these equations are parallel and do not intersect.
