Answer:

Option C) b=6

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two linear equations of a system of equations have an infinite of solutions, then both equations are identical

we have

[tex]y=6x-b[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]-3x+(1/2)y=-3[/tex]

Multiply by 2 both sides

[tex]-6x+y=-6[/tex]

Adds 6x both sides

[tex]y=6x-6[/tex] ------> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

[tex]6x-b=6x-6[/tex]

solve for b

[tex]b=6[/tex]
