Ren was trying to solve a system of linear equations. He correctly argued that he could replace one equation by the sum of that equation and multiple of the other. He stated that this would produce a system that has the same solution as the original system.
To show this, Ren wrote down a system of equations. He them determined wich othe system of equations would have the same solution as the original system. Ren's original system is shown below.​
