If you divide the second equation by 2 and transpose terms to the same form as the first equation, you will find that the two equations are identical.
This is a situation where the two equations represent coincident lines, hence there is an infinitely many solutions.
Identify the solution(s) of the system of equations, if any.
-2x - 4y = 8
8y = -4x - 16
