Is the following statement true?
If two linear systems have the same solutions then
the corresponding matrices are row equivalent
I attempted a simple example with the systems
5x + 2y = 23
3x + 8y = 41
and
2x + 3y = 18
8x + 7y = 52
I was able to row reduce both of their augmented matrices into reduced row echelon form \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix} Which I believe indicates row equivalence, however I don't know how I might prove the statement is true for all two same solution equivalent systems. From my research I believe the following Theorem is critical for my understanding of the question enter image description here
Try to reformulate your question with some equations
If $ A_1 x = b_1 $ and $ A_2 x = b_2 $ then $ A_1 $ is row equivalent to $ A_2 $.
Now, what does it mean for $A_1$ to be row equivalent to $ A_2 $? They have the same row space. Or, equivalently, there is a sequence of elementary row transformations that changes one matrix into the other.
Somehow, I think there is something missing in the question...
