To determine which option creates a true equivalent system with the original equations, we need to check which option can be derived from the given equations.
We have:
System A:
- \( -x + y = 1 \)
- \( x + y = 11 \)
First, let's manipulate the second equation in System A for consideration:
From Equation 2: \[ x + y = 11 \] We can multiply this entire equation by 2 to find an equivalent equation: \[ 2(x + y) = 2(11) \implies 2x + 2y = 22 \quad (1) \]
Now let's analyze each option provided:
-
−x−y=−1
- This is equivalent to \( x + y = 1 \), which does not relate to our equations.
-
−2x−2y=−22
- Dividing the equation by -2 gives us \( x + y = 11 \). This matches one of our original equations.
-
2x+2y=12
- This simplifies to \( x + y = 6 \), which does not match our equations.
-
2y=12
- Dividing by 2 gives \( y = 6 \). This does not create an equivalent system since it does not match either equation.
The correct answer that transforms into an equivalent system is: −2x−2y=−22
This option \( (-2x - 2y = -22) \) correctly corresponds to the equation \( (x + y = 11) \).
