To determine which of the given equations will make the two systems equivalent, we need to check if we can convert the equation from System B, \(5x + 8y = 28\), into the form of System A, \(7x + 4y = -4\).

To do this, we can manipulate \(5x + 8y = 28\).

1. We can scale both sides of \(5x + 8y = 28\) to obtain the form that can be compared to \(7x + 4y = -4\).

We want to manipulate the equations to find a form that represents the same line.

However, an easier method to check equivalency is to find if we can get a multiple of the equation of System A from System B.

To compare the equations:

- **Multiply the equation of System A by some constant:**

To see if we can relate it to System B, we notice that \(7x + 4y = -4\) can be manipulated. However, let's focus first on the transformation requirements.

2. **Finding a multiple relationship:**

A common approach is to set up both equations and test the equality condition after scaling or manipulate through elimination or substitution.

3. **Comparing with options:**

Let's quickly analyze each of the response options to understand if they relate:

- **Option 1: \(-14x - 8y = -8\)**
- This can be divided by -2 → \(7x + 4y = 4\) (not equivalent).

- **Option 2: \(-12x - 12y = 24\)**
- Can be reduced but doesn’t relate.

- **Option 3: \(-14x - 8y = 8\)**
- Dividing by -2 leads to \(7x + 4y = -4\) which matches System A.

- **Option 4: \(12x + 12y = 24\)**
- Can be simplified but doesn’t relate.

From the options, the valid choice to ensure equivalency is:

**Response: \(-14x - 8y = 8\)** is the term that makes the systems equivalent as it simplifies directly to match the form of System A.
