Answer

The equation has infinite solutions.

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to solve for the solutions of the system of equations

y = (2/3)x + 4

2x - 3y = -12

To do this, we just substitute the value of y from the first equation into the second equation

y = (2/3)x + 4

2x - 3y = -12

2x - 3[(2/3)x + 4] = -12

2x - [2x + 12] = -12

2x - 2x - 12 = -12

2x - 2x = -12 + 12

0 = 0

This means that this equation has infinite solutions.

Hope this Helps!!!
