Question 14 • Algebra II

Which equation can pair with x minus y is equal to negative 2 to create a consistent and dependent system?

Answer
A
4 x minus 4 y is equal to 6
B
negative 8 x minus 3 y is equal to 2
C
6 x plus 2 y is equal to 15
D
negative 3 x plus 3 y is equal to 6

Explanation

A consistent and dependent system has two equations that describe the same line, so one equation must be a multiple of x − y = −2. Multiplying both sides by −3 gives −3x + 3y = 6. This matches choice A, so the equations have infinitely many solutions.
