Answer:

infinite solutions

Explanation:

8a-10b=1/3 and 20a-25b=5/6

To remove fraction , multiply the first equation by 3 and second equation by 6


24a-30b=1


120a-150b=5

multiply the first equation by -5 to eliminate b


-120a+150b=-5


120a-150b=5

Add both equations

0=0

both sides are equal. so infinite solution for this system of equations
