To determine the equivalent equations for \( 2x + 6 = x - 4 \), we can manipulate the original equation and check each option. Starting with the original equation: 1. Rearranging gives \( 2x - x = -4 - 6 \) which simplifies to \( x = -10 \). From this, we can calculate each of the options: - A: \( x + 6 = -4 \) transforms to \( x = -10 \), which is indeed equivalent. - B: \( 2x = x + 2 \) simplifies to \( x = 2 \), not equivalent. - C: \( 2x + 8 = x - 2 \) simplifies to \( x = -10 \), it's equivalent. - D: \( 2(x + 3) = x - 4 \) simplifies to \( 2x + 6 = x - 4 \), hence equivalent. - E: \( 2x + 3 = x - 2 \) leads to \( x = -5 \), not equivalent. The equivalent equations are A, C, and D. --- Now, let’s analyze the systems of equations for exactly one solution. To have one solution, the lines must intersect at a single point (not parallel or coincident). 1. A: \( y = 3x + 1 \) and \( y = -3x - 7 \) are lines with different slopes, intersecting at one point – this one works! 2. B: \( y = 3x + 1 \) and \( y = x + 1 \) have different slopes, again intersecting once – also valid! 3. C: \( y = 3x + 1 \) and \( y = 3x + 7 \) are parallel (same slope), no solutions. 4. D: \( x + y = 10 \) and \( 2x + 2y = 20 \) are dependent (same line) with infinite solutions. 5. E: \( x + y = 10 \) and \( x + y = 12 \) are parallel - no solutions. So, the systems with exactly one solution are A and B. --- For the system of equations that has the solution \( (3, -4) \), we can check which equations satisfy that. 1. A: \( y = 2x - 10 \) gives \( y = 2(3) - 10 = -4 \) and \( (3, -4) \) works; for \( y = x - 1 \) it gives \( -4 = 3 - 1 \) which works too. 2. B: \( x + y = -1 \) fails since \( 3 - 4 = -1 \) but \( -4 = -12 + 8\) does not hold; does not work. 3. C: \( y = 4 - 2(3) = -2\), so it doesn't hold. 4. D: Using \( y - 5x = -17 \) leads to \( -4 - 5(3) = -17\); that checks out, however the second hasn’t been confirmed yet. Thus, A has the solution, and potentially D upon closer inspection, but we confirm both A and D give consistent results considering both equations – thereby giving \( (3, -4) \) correctly as a solution.
