Answer:

  • the problem has an infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 3x - 12y = 6
  • x - 4y = 2

make the coefficient of x same by multiplying the entire following by 3

  • ⇒ ( x - 4y = 2 ) * 3
  • ⇒ 3x - 12y = 6 __ equation 2

  • 3x - 12y = 6 __ equation 1

solving using elimination method:

3x - 12y = 6

3x - 12y = 6
