Answer:

The given equation has no solution.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

4y - 4y - 12 = 14 - 2

We have to find the number of solutions the above equation will have.

Solving the above equation, we have:

$4y - 4y - 12 = 14 - 2\\\Rightarrow 0-12 = 12\\\Rightarrow -12 = 12\\\text{which can never be true and is impossible.}$

Thus, the given equation has no solution.

No solution mean that there is no value of y that can satisfy the given equation.
