### Solving Systems of Linear Equations

Two systems of equations are given below. For each system, choose the best description of its solution. If applicable, give the solution.

#### System A

\[
\begin{cases}
-3x + y = 6 \\
3x - y = 6
\end{cases}
\]

Options:
1. ⃝ The system has no solution.
2. ⃝ The system has a unique solution:
   \[
   (x, y) = \left[ \ \ , \ \ \right]
   \]
3. ⃝ The system has infinitely many solutions.
   They must satisfy the following equation:
   \[
   y = \left[ \ \ \right]
   \]

#### System B

\[
\begin{cases}
-4x + y = -4 \\
4x - y = 4
\end{cases}
\]

Options:
1. ⃝ The system has no solution.
2. ⃝ The system has a unique solution:
   \[
   (x, y) = \left[ \ \ , \ \ \right]
   \]
3. ⃝ The system has infinitely many solutions.
   They must satisfy the following equation:
   \[
   y = \left[ \ \ \right]
   \]

For each system, examine the provided equations, determine the nature of their solutions and provide the detailed steps to find the solutions.

- If the lines represented by the equations are parallel but not coincident, the system has no solution.
- If the lines intersect at a single point, the system has a unique solution.
- If the lines are coincident, the system has infinitely many solutions, and we must provide the equation that represents the line.
