The given pair of equations have no common solution.

Explanation:

Given
[1]XXX2x3y=4
[2]XXX6y=4x+15

Convert [2] into standard form (Ax+By=C)
[3]XXX4x6y=15

Notice that the Left Side of [3] is exactly 2 times the Right Side of [1] (but the Right Side is not twice the Right Side of [1])
these equations represent parallel lines with no point(s) of intersection (i.e. no solution points)
