To determine the number of solutions to the given system of linear equations, we can analyze the equations:

  1. \(2x + y = 6\)
  2. \(4x + 2y = 8\)

First, let's simplify the second equation. Notice that the second equation is simply a multiple of the first equation:

From the first equation, if we multiply through by 2, we get:

\[ 4x + 2y = 12 \]

However, the second equation is:

\[ 4x + 2y = 8 \]

Since \(4x + 2y = 12\) is not equal to \(4x + 2y = 8\), this indicates that the two equations represent parallel lines that do not intersect.

Therefore, the system of equations has no solutions.

The correct answer is \(0\).
