Equation 2 $= 4xx$ Equation 1
Since one equation is a scalar multiple of the other the two equations are equivalent.

Consider the two equations:

$x-1/2=x/4+3$ [1]

$4x-2 = x+12$ [2]

Equation [1] $xx4 -> 4(x-1/2) = 4(x/4+3)$

$4x -2 =x+12 -=$ Equation [2]

Thus, Equation 2 $= 4xx$ Equation 1

Since one equation is a scalar multiple of the other the two equations are equivalent.
