Question 1007035: Show and explain how replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions as the one shown.
8x + 7y = 39
4x – 14y = –68 Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
Then all that needs to be done is show that is a solution to the system
(for some constant k)
Note that the second equation was formed by taking the first and adding k times the second. However this pretty easily holds true from linearity as the second equation is equivalent to
