Answer:

Infinitely many.

Explanation:

y = 3x + 4

2y = 6x + 8

Basically you would fill in the variable for y into the second equation.

2 (3x + 4) = 6x + 8

Multiply 2 by the part in the parenthesis.

2 * 3x = 6x

2 * 4 = 8

Set up the equation and solve

6x + 8 = 6x + 8

Because the sides are the same, they cancel each other out. When two sides equal the same variable they have infinitely many solutions.
