Answer: Infinite Solutions.

Explanation:

We will transform both equations into slope-intercept form.

Equation M: 3y = 3x + 6 ➜ y = x + 2

Equation P: y = x + 2

The two given equations are the same, meaning there are infinite solutions. We can also see this when we graph these two equations, see attached. It's hard to show as they overlap infinitely, but I did my best.
