Answer:

y = 3x +1 (1)

2y = 6x +2 (2)

We can devide equation (2) by 2 and we got:


y =3x +1 (3)

And since equations (1) and (3) are equal we can do this:


3x +1 = 3x+1

And that implies:


0=0

And for this case we will have infinite solutions for the sytem given since we have two lines equal

Explanation:

For this case we have the following system of equations given:

y = 3x +1 (1)

2y = 6x +2 (2)

We can devide equation (2) by 2 and we got:


y =3x +1 (3)

And since equations (1) and (3) are equal we can do this:


3x +1 = 3x+1

And that implies:


0=0
