Are there infinite solutions to this problem or no solution at all?
-3x-2y=2
-4y=4+6x

It would be helpful if you would tell me what level of math you are doing and what you already know. This is a fairly elementary question that an introductory algebra course covers. It might be you are doing algebra for the first time??

Try to solve this system of equations either through the substitution or the addition method and if you get a true statement that is true all the time like 0 = 0 or -2 = -2 or even x = x, then there are an infinite number of solutions and if you get something that is gobbledegook (a bunch of hog wash that is never true under any circumstance like 2 = 0) then there is no solution.

Think about this, try it and if you still need help send me a specific question and show me your work.
