Answer:

Explanation:

Note that the two equations are equivalent.

2y = 14-2x can be rearranged to y = -x+7, which is the same as the second equation. What you're looking is one line on top of the other.

Every shared point is a solution. Since there are infinitely many points on a line, and these lines share every point, there are infinitely many solutions.
