Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of solutions for this system of equations, we can use the concept of linear independence.

The given system of equations can be written in matrix form as:

| 1  2 |   | x |   |  3 |

| 4  8 | * | y | = | 15 |

If we calculate the determinant of the coefficient matrix, which is the matrix on the left side of the equation, we can determine whether the system has a unique solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.

Calculating the determinant of the coefficient matrix:

| 1  2 |

| 4  8 |

Determinant = (1 * 8) - (2 * 4) = 8 - 8 = 0

Since the determinant is equal to zero, the system of equations has infinitely many solutions.

Therefore, the given system of equations has infinitely many solutions.
