Question 1016722: What kind of system is formed by two equations where one equation is a multiple of the other? Explain.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Say Y=2X+1, and the second equation is 2Y=4X+2.
When you simplify the second equation to form Y=mX+b, you get the first equation as a result. We can multiply both sides of an equation to manipulate it for solving.
The equation are identical in these cases.
