Given:


\begin{gathered} x-y=4...........(1) \\ 5x-5y=20...........(2) \end{gathered}

To find:

Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

From equation (1),


x=4+y...........(3)

Substituting equation (3) in (2) we get,


\begin{gathered} 5(4+y)-5y=20 \\ 20+5y-5y=20 \\ 5y-5y=20-20 \\ 0=0 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the system has infinitely many solutions.

Final answer:

INFINITELY MANY
