Question

Is (1, 2) a solution to this system of equations? ****Show work!****

17x + y = 19

8x + 5y = 18

Answer 1

(1, 2) is a solution to this system of equations

Explanation:

Plug in (1, 2) into each equation

17x + y = 19

17(1) + 2 = 19

17 + 2 = 19

19 = 19 ----------->YES

8x + 5y = 18

8(1) + 5(2) = 18

8 + 10 = 18

18 = 18 ------------------->YES

Answer:

(1, 2) is a solution to this system of equations
