Yea of course!!

x + 2y = 7

2x + 3y = 11

This system have exactly 2 solutions, namely x=1 and y=3.

Linear equations represent straight lines, so they (i) cross in a single point - one solution, or (ii) they are parallel but apart - no solutions, or (iii) they lie on top of each other - an infinite number of solutions.
