Given:

2x + 4y = 14

4x + y = 20

Required:

We need to find the equivalent to the given system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the equation


4x+y=20

Multiply both sides of the equation by -4, it will not affect the equations of the system


-4(4x+y)=-4*20
-16x-4y=-80

Final answer:

The equivalent system of the equation is


2x+4y=14
-16x-4y=-80
