Answer:

Infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

1) subtract “1” from both sides to get y by itself

Y=-2x-1

2) 4y+8x=-4 share a gcf of “4” so you can divide the whole equation by 4

y+2y=-1

Now substitute “-2x-1” as y

(-2x-1)+2x=-1

-2x and 2x cancel each other and so does -1 and -1

Hence, this system has infinitely many solutions
