To find an equivalent system of equations, we can manipulate and simplify the original system, which consists of the following equations:
1. \(4x + 9y = 10\)
2. \(2x + 3y = 12\)
Let's look at the second equation, \(2x + 3y = 12\). If we multiply this equation by 2, it will provide us with a new equation that is still equivalent to the second equation:
\[
2(2x + 3y) = 2(12) \\
4x + 6y = 24
\]
Now we have a new equivalent system:
1. \(4x + 9y = 10\) (unchanged)
2. \(4x + 6y = 24\) (transformed from the original second equation)
Now letβs see which of the responses matches this system.
1. **Response:** \(4x + 9y = 10\) and \(4x + 3y = 24\) (not matched)
2. **Response:** \(4x + 9y = 10\) and \(2x + 9y = 36\) (not matched)
3. **Response:** \(4x + 9y = 10\) and \(2x + 3y = 12\) (match original, but not manipulated)
4. **Response:** \(4x + 9y = 10\) and \(4x + 6y = 24\) (this is a match)
5. **Response:** \(4x + 9y = 10\) and \(4x + 6y = 24\) (this is a match)
Therefore, the equivalent system of equations is:
\[
\text{System: } 4x + 9y = 10 \text{ and } 4x + 6y = 24
\]
So, the correct choice is:
**Response:** \(4x + 9y = 10\) and \(4x + 6y = 24\)
