To solve the system using the substitution method, we have the two equations:

  1. \( y = \frac{5}{2}x - \frac{3}{2} \) (Equation 1)
  2. \( 10x - 4y = 6 \) (Equation 2)

Since Equation 1 gives us \( y \) in terms of \( x \), we can substitute this expression for \( y \) into Equation 2.

Substituting \( y \) in Equation 2:

\[ 10x - 4\left(\frac{5}{2}x - \frac{3}{2}\right) = 6 \]

Distributing the \(-4\):

\[ 10x - (10x - 6) = 6 \]

Simplifying the left side:

\[ 10x - 10x + 6 = 6 \]

Thus, we have:

\[ 6 = 6 \]

This true statement indicates that there are infinitely many solutions. The equations represent the same line.

So the correct answer is: infinite solutions.
