Infinite Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = 5 + y and 4y = - 20 + 8x can be solved by substituting one equation into another to find the variables.

2x = 5 + y becomes y = 2x - 5. Substitute this expression into 4y = - 20 + 8x.

4 (2x - 5) = - 20 + 8x

8x - 20 = - 20 + 8x

8x - 8x - 20 = - 20 + 8x - 8x

-20 = - 20

This has infinite solutions since x eliminates and a true statement is left.
