For the given systems the answers are:
1) "Replace one equation with a multiple of the other equation".
2) The systems are not equivalent.
Here we have the systems of equations:
A:
4x + 16y = 12
x +2y = -9
B:
4x + 16y = 12
x + 4y = 3
Notice that the first equation is the same in both systems, but the second is different.
In A we have:
x + 2y = -9
In B we have:
x + 4y = 3
So we need to add 2y on the left side of A, and 12 on the right side of A to get the equation in B.
Or we can just take the other equation in A, divide it by 4, and replace it.
So we need to replace the second equation in A for other equation, then the correct option is:
"Replace one equation with a multiple of the other equation".
Because we are replacing an equation in A by other to get system B, we conclude that systems are not equivalent.
