Given:


8w+24y=10\ldots.(1)
y=-(1)/(3)w+(5)/(12)\ldots.\text{ (2)}

By taking the equation (1)


24y=10-8w
y=(10-8w)/(24)\ldots.\text{ (3)}

Substitue the equation (3) in equation (1)


(10-8w)/(24)=-(1)/(3)w+(5)/(12)
(10-8w)/(24)=(-4w+5)/(12)
(10-8w)/(2)=(-4w+5)/(1)
1(10-8w)=2(-4w+5)
10-8w=-8w+10
8w-8w=10-10
0=0

Therefore,the system of equation has infinitely many solution.
