Answer:

  1. yes

  2. no

Step-by-step explanation:

We can label the equations [1] and [2] to make the transformations to the equivalent system easier to describe.

1. The equivalent system is [1] +[2] and 2×[1]. Both of these are described as allowed transformations.

  [1] +[2] is (-x +2y) +(-3x +9y) = (10) +(-15)  ⇒  -4x +11y = -5

  2×[1] is 2(-x +2y) = 2(10)  ⇒  -2x +4y = 20

These resulting equations match the ones proposed for the equivalent system.

  yes, the systems are equivalent

2. The first equation of the proposed "equivalent" system is [1] +[2]. The second equation has no relation to the equations of the given system.

  [1] +[2] = (-2x +3y) +(-11x -13y) = (14) +(-6)  ⇒  -13x -10y = 8

  no, the systems are not equivalent

(This is also shown in the attached graph. The original system is in red; the "equivalent" system is in green. Equivalent systems have the same solution. These do not.)
