Let's review and summarize the solutions for each of the provided systems of equations.
1. System:
\( 2x + 3y = 4 \) \( -4x - 6y = -8 \)
Solution:
First, notice that the second equation can be simplified:
\[
-4x - 6y = -8 \implies 4x + 6y = 8 \implies 2x + 3y = 4
\]
This is the same as the first equation. Since both equations are the same, there are infinitely many solutions.
Response: infinite solutions
2. System:
\( x = y - 4 \) \( x + 8y = 2 \)
Substitution Method: Substitute \( x \) in the second equation: \[ (y - 4) + 8y = 2 \implies 9y - 4 = 2 \implies 9y = 6 \implies y = \frac{2}{3} \] Now substitute \( y \) back to find \( x \): \[ x = \frac{2}{3} - 4 = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{12}{3} = -\frac{10}{3} \quad \left(\text{or } -3\frac{1}{3}\right) \] Response: (−3 1/3, 2/3)
3. Equivalent System:
\( 2x + 7y = 14 \) \( 4x + 5y = 10 \)
Checking Options for Equivalence: To create an equivalent system:
- Multiply the first equation by 2: \[ 4x + 14y = 28 \]
- Multiply the second equation by 2: \[ 8x + 10y = 20 \] Thus, the equivalent system is: \[ 4x + 14y = 28 \quad \text{and} \quad 8x + 10y = 20 \] Response: 4x + 14y = 28 and 8x + 10y = 20
4. Reason for Equivalence:
Reasoning: The equivalence holds because both equations represent the same geometrical lines. A scaling factor can convert the original equations to the new ones. Response: Both equations, 2x + 7y = 14 and 4x + 5y = 10, can be multiplied by 1/2 to produce the equivalent system of equations.
5. System:
\( 3x - 4y = -4 \) \( x + 3y = -10 \)
Elimination Method: Rearrange the second equation: \[ x = -10 - 3y \] Substitute \( x \) in the first equation: \[ 3(-10 - 3y) - 4y = -4 \] Simplifying: \[ -30 - 9y - 4y = -4 \implies -13y = 26 \implies y = -2 \] Substitute \( y \) back to find \( x \): \[ x = -10 - 3(-2) = -10 + 6 = -4 \] Response: (−4,−2)
Summary of Responses:
- infinite solutions
- (−3 1/3, 2/3)
- 4x + 14y = 28 and 8x + 10y = 20
- Both equations can be multiplied by 1/2
- (−4,−2)
