Which equation is equivalent to 3x – 4y = 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this it?

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

yup

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

can you please include steps? Thank you. Will fan and medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

binnies is helping

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops bunnies

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

An equation that is equivalent will be a scalar multiple of the equation. For example, if you multiplied both sides by 2, both equations will be equivalent still.

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

ummmmmmmmmmm give me a sec

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

hey where'd it go?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

?

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

O well, so what is the first step for this one?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

.-. Don't you have answer choices. Find which one is a scalar multiple. Compare the coefficients to the equation in the question.

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

Oh here r my choices

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

A. 2/3 B. 2 C. -2/3 D. 6

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

what is a sclalar multiple

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

oops I mean scalar*

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Those answer choices aren't equations though.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Sorry, scalar multiple just means one number that is being multiplied to an equation. Like the example I talked about earlier, multiplying 2 to both sides.
