stoichiometry - Can a chemical reaction have two balanced equations?


I was recently studying Xenon compounds and read this reaction:


6XeFX4+12HX2O4Xe+2XeOX3+24HF+3OX2

4XeFX4+8HX2O2Xe+2XeOX3+16HF+OX2


Now both of these are valid but wouldn't that create problems, like in quantitative analysis or in kinetics of the reaction?
