Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

y = 6x-b  (eq. 1)

-3x+1/2y = -3 (eq. 2)

We can rewrite eq. 1 as follows:

-6x + y = -b

Dividing by 2:

(-6x + y)/2 = -b/2

-6x/2 + y/2 = -b/2

-3x + 1/2y = -b/2

The system of equations will have infinite number of solutions if both equations are equal. Therefore:

-b/2 = -3

b= -3*(-2)

b = 6
