Answer:
Equivalent systems of equations review
Step-by-step explanation:
We're given two systems of equations and asked if they're equivalent.
x + 4y = 8 (1)
4x + y = 2 (2)
Interestingly, if we sum the equations in System A, we get:
Replacing the first equation in System A with this new equation, we get a system that's equivalent to System A:
This is System B, which means that System A is equivalent to System B.
Rounding it to the tens place so your answer for 12mm is going to be 10
Multiply -3[4x+y=6].
This gets you -12x-3y=-18.
Add the two equations together to eliminate the y.
-12x - 3y = -18
+ 12x + 3y = 18
------------------------
0 = 0
This means that these are in fact the same line, therefore there are infinite solutions.
