Answer

y = 2x +8

Explanation:

Add 2 x to both sides of the first equation to get:

y = 8 + 2 x


Divide both sides of the second equation by 2 to get:

y = 8 + 2 x


The two equations determine the same conditions on xy so this system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, namely all points on the line:

y = 2 x + 8
