Answer:

infinite number of solutions

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4x + 6y = 12 → (1)

6x + 9y = 18 → (2)

Equation (2) is a multiple of (1)

Each term has been multiplied by 1.5

Thus the 2 equations are basically the same equation.

This indicates there are infinite solutions to the system
