1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of equations:
$$3x - 6y = 15$$
$$-2x + 4y = -10$$
2. **Formula and rules:** We can solve this system using substitution or elimination. Here, elimination is convenient.
3. **Elimination method:** Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by 3 to align coefficients of $x$:
$$2(3x - 6y) = 2(15) \Rightarrow 6x - 12y = 30$$
$$3(-2x + 4y) = 3(-10) \Rightarrow -6x + 12y = -30$$
4. **Add the two equations:**
$$ (6x - 12y) + (-6x + 12y) = 30 + (-30)$$
$$0 = 0$$
5. **Interpretation:** The result $0=0$ means the two equations are dependent (one is a multiple of the other), so there are infinitely many solutions.
6. **Express $x$ in terms of $y$:** From the first equation:
$$3x - 6y = 15 \Rightarrow 3x = 15 + 6y \Rightarrow x = 5 + 2y$$
7. **Final answer:** The system has infinitely many solutions given by:
$$x = 5 + 2y, \quad y \in \mathbb{R}$$
