Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem is asking whether the two systems of equations, labeled (A) and (B), are equivalent.
System (A):
System (B):
To check if these systems are equivalent, we need to analyze the number of equations and their consistency.
- System (A) has two equations: one linear equation , and another linear equation .
- System (B) only has one equation: .
Clearly, these two systems are not equivalent. System (A) provides two conditions (two constraints), whereas System (B) provides only one condition. Thus, System (A) is more restrictive and likely has a different solution set compared to System (B).
Conclusion: The two systems are not equivalent, so the correct answer is False.

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
- What does it mean for two systems of equations to be equivalent?
- How can we solve the system of equations in (A)?
- What is the solution to alone in system (B)?
- Can a system with fewer equations have the same solution as a system with more equations?
- How do we graphically represent the solutions to both systems?
Tip: A system of equations is only considered equivalent if both systems yield exactly the same set of solutions for all variables.
