Answer 1

infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

let's compare each equations to equation of a line

which is y=mx+c

first equation

6x - 2y = -4

-2y = -6x -4

divide through by -2

y=3x+2

second equation

3x-y= -2

-y= -3x-2

divide through by -1

y= 3x+2

since the slope and intercept of the first and second equation equal each other then the number of solutions is infinitely many.

note that m is slope and c is intercept.
