one
two
an infinite number
no solution

Answer 1

C: an infinate number

Step-by-step explanation: I got it right on Edge

Answer 2

12x - 4y = -8

y = 3x + 2

Rewrite the first equation

12x + 8 = 4y

3x + 2 = y

As you see, the first and second equation are actually the same, meaning there's an infinite number of solutions.
