Answer

The system has only one solution.

Work Step by Step

We are given $3x+2y=1 $ $\rightarrow 2y=-3x+1$ $ \rightarrow y=\frac{-3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$ The slope is $\frac{-3}{2}$. $4y=6x+2$ $ \rightarrow y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$ The slope is $\frac{3}{2}$. The lines intersect at one point. The lines have different slopes. The equations are consistent and independent. Therefore, the system has only one solution.
