Two systems of equations are shown: System A
System B
2x + y = 5
- 10x + 19 = -1
- 4x + y = -2
- 4x + y = -2
Which of the following statements is correct about the two systems of equations?
times the
They will have the same solutions because the first equation of System B is obtained by adding the first equation of System A to
second equation of System A.
They will have the same solution because the first equation of System B is obtained by adding the first equation of System A to 3 times the
second equation of System A.
The value of x for System B will be -5 times the value of x for System A because the coefficient of x in the first equation of System Bis -5 times
the coefficient of x in the first equation of System A
The value of x for System A will be equal to the value of y for System B because the first equation of System B is obtained by adding -12 to the
first equation of System A and the second equations are identical.
