Answer:

  infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of x in the first equation is 3 times the coefficient of x in the second equation. This means we can eliminate x by subtracting 3 times the second equation from the first:

  (15x +12y) -3(5x +4y) = (18) -3(6)

  0 = 0 . . . . . simplify (true for all values of x or y)

The system of equations has an infinite number of solutions.
