There are infinite solutions

Both these equations represent the same line. How you ask? Multiply the first equation by 2 and you get the same equation.

This means that the lines completely coincide and they are on each ther, This implies that all points on one line is on the other line as well

Thus there are infinite solutions

How do you solve the system -6x - 2y = -5 -6x - 2y = -5 and -12x - 4y = -10-12x - 4y = -10?
