Answer: There are infinite number of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:  The given equation is:

x+y=16.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We see that the above equation is a linear equation having two unknown variables 'x' and 'y'.

Since the number of unknown variables (= 2) is greater than the number of equations (= 1), so there will be infinitely many solutions to the given equation.

For example, from equation (i), we have

x+y=16\\\\\Rightarrow y=16-x.

If x = 2, we get y = 16 - 2 = 14,

if x = 8, we get y = 16 - 8 = 8, etc.

Thus, (2, 14), (8, 8), etc are the solutions of equation (i).

Also, the graph of the given equation will be a straight line and any point on the line will satisfy the equation.

The graph is attached.
