Identical Linear Equations Ab2948
1. **Problem statement:** We are given two linear equations:
$$x_1 + kx_2 = c$$
and
$$x_1 + lx_2 = d$$
We need to show that if these two equations have the same solution set, then they must be identical, meaning $$k = l$$ and $$c = d$$.
2. **Understanding the problem:** Two linear equations have the same solution set if every solution that satisfies the first equation also satisfies the second, and vice versa.
3. **Step 1: Assume the two equations have the same solution set.**
This means for any pair $$(x_1, x_2)$$ that satisfies the first equation, it also satisfies the second:
$$x_1 + kx_2 = c \implies x_1 + lx_2 = d$$
4. **Step 2: Express $$x_1$$ from the first equation:**
$$x_1 = c - kx_2$$
5. **Step 3: Substitute $$x_1$$ into the second equation:**
$$c - kx_2 + lx_2 = d$$
6. **Step 4: Simplify the equation:**
$$c + (l - k)x_2 = d$$
7. **Step 5: Since the two equations have the same solution set, this must hold for all values of $$x_2$$.**
The only way for $$c + (l - k)x_2 = d$$ to be true for all $$x_2$$ is if the coefficient of $$x_2$$ is zero and the constant terms are equal:
$$l - k = 0 \implies l = k$$
$$c = d$$
8. **Conclusion:**
If the two linear equations have the same solution set, then $$k = l$$ and $$c = d$$, meaning the two equations are identical.
**Final answer:** $$k = l$$ and $$c = d$$.
