ANSWER

Infinitely many solutions (0 = 0)

Step-by-step explanation

We have the two equations and we are to solve them simultaneously.

We have:

y = 5x + 2 ___(1)

10y - 50x = 20 ___(2)

Put (1) in (2):

We have that:

10(5x + 2) - 50x = 20

50x + 20 - 50x = 20

=> 50x - 50x = 20 - 20

=> 0 = 0

This kind of solution implies that there are infinitely many solutions to this equation.
