No Solutions - incorrect

Explanation:
To determine the number of solutions, we need to check if the two equations are equivalent or proportional. We can do this by dividing the second equation by 4:

(4x + 8y = -16) / 4
x + 2y = -4

Since the two equations are equivalent, they represent the same line and have infinitely many solutions.

It seems like there may have been a typo in your response. If you meant to say "infinite" or "infinitely many solutions," then that is correct for this system of linear equations. The system has infinitely many solutions.
