Answer

The system of equations has infinitely many solutions, since the two lines are the same

Steps

Step 1 :Substitute \( y \) from first equation into second equation: \( 2x + 4(-\frac{1}{2}x + 6) = 24 \)

Step 2 :Simplify equation: \( 2x - 2x + 24 = 24 \)

Step 3 :The system of equations has infinitely many solutions, since the two lines are the same
