Answer:

2 solutions

Explanation:

A system of two linear equations will have a unique solution if the two lines cut or intersect

If two lines are parallel, no solution would be there

If two lines are the same, then infinite solutions are possible

But more than 1 i.e. 2 solutions is not at all possible at any cost

For any system of two linear equations there cannot be two solutions but solutions can be unique, or no solution or infinite solutions
