Answer:

Infinite solutions

Explanation:

Substitute -2x - 5 for y in 6x + 3y = -15


  • 6x + 3 (-2x-5)=-15

  • 6x + (3)(-2x)+(3)(-5) = -15 (simplify both sides of the equation

  • 6x -6x-15 =-15

  • -15 = -15

  • -15 + 15 = -15 + 15 (add 15 to both sides)

  • 0 = 0

Therefore, the answer is infinite solutions.
