To find the solutions for the system of equations:

1. Write down the two equations:
8x - 6y = 48
8x + 6y = 48

2. Add the two equations together to eliminate y:
(8x - 6y) + (8x + 6y) = 48 + 48
16x = 96
Divide by 16: x = 6

3. Substitute the value of x back into either of the original equations to solve for y:
8(6) - 6y = 48
48 - 6y = 48
-6y = 0
y = 0

So the solution to the system of equations is x = 6, y = 0. Therefore, the system has one solution.
