Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine which system of equations has the same solution as the original system:
Original system:
Step 1: Analyze the equivalent systems
An equivalent system must be derived from the original equations through algebraic manipulations, such as multiplying through by a constant.
Check each option:
-
Option A:
and
The first equation does not match the original equation after any consistent manipulation (e.g., scaling or adding). This system is not equivalent. -
Option B:
and
Similarly, scaling or manipulation cannot derive the first equation from the original system. This is not equivalent. -
Option C:
and
If we manipulate , subtracting from both sides produces . Hence, this system is equivalent. -
Option D:
and
Again, cannot be derived from the original equations. This system is not equivalent.
Correct Answer:
Option C: and .
