The equivalent equations of [tex]2x+ 4y = 14[/tex] and [tex]4x + y = 20[/tex]
are [tex]2x+ 4y = 14[/tex] and[tex]-16x -4y = -80[/tex]
The system of equations is given as:
[tex]2x+ 4y = 14[/tex]
[tex]4x + y = 20[/tex]
Multiply both sides of the equations by -4.
So, we have:
[tex]-4 \times (4x + y) = -4 \times 20[/tex]
Distribute the expression
[tex]-4 \times 4x -4 \times y = -4 \times 20[/tex]
Evaluate all products
[tex]-16x -4y = -80[/tex]
So, we have the following system of equations
[tex]2x+ 4y = 14[/tex]
[tex]-16x -4y = -80[/tex]
Hence, the equivalent equations are [tex]2x+ 4y = 14[/tex] and[tex]-16x -4y = -80[/tex]
