Understanding Equivalent Equations and Properties

The video tutorial explains how to create equivalent equations with infinitely many solutions. It covers simplifying expressions using mathematical properties, solving for x, and verifying solutions through graphing. The tutorial also explores advanced techniques for creating complex equivalent equations and discusses less common methods using the distributive property.

What is the primary goal when writing a second equation in a system with infinitely many solutions?

• To have a different y-intercept in the second equation

• To make the second equation completely different from the first
