ANSWER

Infinite

Step-by-step explanation

To find out the number of solutions that this system of equations has, we have to attempt solving it.

The equations are:

6x - y = 5 _____(1)

12x - 2y = 10 ___(2)

Divide through (2) by 2:

=> 6x - y = 5

So, we have:

6x - y = 5 ___(1)

6x - y = 5 ____(2)

We can just equation these two as:

6x - y = 6x - y

Collect like terms:

6x - 6x = y - y

=> 0 = 0

This therefore means that the system has infinitely many solutions.
