Question

For the equations given below, which statement is true?

-21 = 14
6.1 = -42
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 have the same solution because the second equation can be obtained by multiplying both sides of the first
equation by 3.
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 do not have the same solution because the second eqlition can never be obtained when multiplying the first
equation by any value.

Answer 1

D. The equations do not have the same solution because the second eqlition can never be obtained when multiplying the first

equation by any value

Explanation:

-21=14 Equ(1)

6.1=-42 Equ(2)

Multiplying the first equation by -3 will give

-63= -42

Which is not equivalent to the second equation

Multiplying the first equation by 3, we have

-63=42

Not equivalent to the second equation

Multiplying both sides of the first equation by -4, we have

84=56

Not equivalent to the second equation

D. The equations do not have the same solution because the second eqlition can never be obtained when multiplying the first

equation by any value
