Systems of equation that have the same solution are called equivalent systems.
Given a system of two equations, we can produce an equivalent system by replacing one equation by the sum of the two equations, or by replacing an equation by a multiple of itself.
In contrast, we can be sure that two systems of equations are not equivalent if we know that a solution of the one is not a solution of the other.
Note: This idea of equivalent systems of equations pops up again in linear algebra. However, the examples and explanations in this article are geared to a high school algebra 1 class.
Example 1
We're given two systems of equations and asked if they're equivalent.
System A
−12x+9y=7
9x−12y=6
system B
−12x+9y=7
3x−4y=2
If we multiply the second equation in System B by 3, we get:
3x−4y=2
3(3x−4y)= 3(2)
9x−12y=6
Replacing the second equation of System B with this new equation, we get an equivalent system:
−12x+9y=7
9x−12y=6
Whoa! Look at that! This system is the same as System A, which means system A is equivalent to System B
