For what value of the constant c does the system

have infinitely many solutions?

3x+4y=7,6x+4y=c4y,

 

PLEASE HELP ASAP angry

we need the lines to have the same slope and intercept3x+4y=7y=34x+746x+4y=c4yy=34x+c8c8=74c=14

The system will have infinite solutions when both equations are  exactly the same

 

Note that we can add 4y to both sides of the second equation and get

 

6x + 8y   =  c

 

Notice that the left side is just a multiple  [ of 2 ] of the left side of the  first equation

So...multiplying the right side of the first equation by 2  gives us 14  = c  and both equations will be exactly the same.....so....the system will have infinite solutions!!!!
