Write an equation equivalent to 2x+3y=5 by multiplying the equation by 4.(1 point)

Question

The equation 2x+3y=5 is equivalent to .

Answer 1

To find an equation equivalent to \(2x + 3y = 5\) by multiplying the entire equation by 4, you can do the following:

\[ 4(2x + 3y) = 4 \times 5 \]

Now, distribute the 4 on the left side:

\[ 8x + 12y = 20 \]

So, the equation \(2x + 3y = 5\) is equivalent to \(8x + 12y = 20\).
