Question

For the equations given below, which statement is true?

A.
The equations have the same solution because the second equation can be obtained by multiplying both sides of the first equation by −3.
B.
The equations do not have the same solution because the second equation can never be obtained when multiplying the first equation by any value.
C.
The equations have the same solution because the second equation can be obtained by multiplying both sides of the first equation by −4.
D.
The equations have the same solution because the second equation can be obtained by multiplying both sides of the first equation by 3.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

-2x × -3 = 6x

14 × -3 = -42

Making the equation

6x = - 42 (just like the second equation)
