Answer:

infinite number of solutions

Explanation:

Work with the second equation. Subtract 8x from both sides.

- 4y + 8x - 8x = -8x - 12 Collect like terms.

-4y = - 8x - 12 Divide by - 4

-4y/-4 = - 8x/-4 - 12/-4

y = 2x + 3

That is exactly the same line as the first given. There is an infinite number of solutions.
