Answer:

  • Infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

Given system:

  • 2y = 14 - 2x
  • y = -x + 7

Divide the first equation by 2 and rearrange:

  • 2y/2 = 14/2 - 2x/2
  • y = 7 - x
  • y = -x + 7

We got the same equation with the second one. It means we have two of the same lines overlapping.

This gives us infinitely many solutions.
