You are trying to guess the code to a puzzle while participating in an escape room. There are two buttons, blue and red, and you have to put the correct number in each one to unlock the door to the next room. There are only two clues to help you:
Clue 1: If you double the blue number and add it to the red number, you get 6.
Clue 2: If you quadruple the blue number and add it to double the red number, you get 12.
You only get two attempts at the puzzle, and if you get it wrong, the game will be over. Use the system of equations shown to determine how many solutions there are to this puzzle.
