Answer:

Option d) 4x + 2y = 10 and 8x = 16 is correct

Therefore 4x + 2y = 10 and 8x = 16 equations have equivalent solution (2,1) is same as the solution of given linear system of equations

Explanation:

Given equations are


4x-2y=6\hfill (1)


2x+y=5\hfill (2)

To find the the equivalent system of linear equations that will produce the same solution as for the given equation :

First find the solution to the given system of equations by elimination method

Multiply the equation (2) into 2 we get


4x+2y=10\hfill (3)

Now adding the equations (1) and ( 3) we get


4x-2y=6


4x+2y=10

_______________


8x=16


x=(16)/(8)

x=2

Therefore the value of x is 2

Substitute the value of x in equation (1) we get


4(2)-2y=6


8-2y=6


-2y=6-8


-2y=-2


y=(-2)/(-2)

y=1

Therefore the value of y is 1

Therefore the solution to the given system of equations is (2,1)

Now to find the equivalent system of equations have same solution (2,1)

Verify the equations
4x+2y=10\hfill (4) and 8x = 16

From 8x=16


x=(16)/(8)

x=2

Therefore the value of x is 2

Substitute x=2 in equation (4) we get

4(2)+2y=10

8+2y=10

2y=10-8

2y=2


y=(2)/(2)

y=1

Therefore the value of y is 1

Therefore the solution is (2,1)

Therefore option d) 4x + 2y = 10 and 8x = 16 equations have equivalent solution (2,1) is same as the solution of given linear system of equations
