Answer:

Infinite

Explanation:

Get both in the form y = first.

12x - 4y = -8

-4y = -8 - 12x

y = 2 + 3x

y = 3x + 2

These are the same line so all points are the same so that means there are infinite answers.

If ONLY the number in front of the x was the same there would be 0 answers, they would be parallel lines, and if the number in front of the xs were different there would only be one answer.
