Question

Identify the system of equations that is not satisfied by the given ordered pair (5, 3) or m = 5, n = 3.

a) m + n = 8
b) m - n = 2
c) m * n = 15
d) m / n = 1.67

Answer 1

The system of equations not satisfied by the given ordered pair (5, 3) or m = 5, n = 3 is m / n = 1.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations that is not satisfied by the given ordered pair (5, 3) or m = 5, n = 3 is option d) m / n = 1.67.

To check if the ordered pair satisfies an equation, substitute the values of m and n into the equation. For option d), substitute m = 5 and n = 3 into m / n = 1.67:

5 / 3 = 1.67

Since the left-hand side (LHS) of the equation is not equal to the right-hand side (RHS), the ordered pair (5, 3) does not satisfy the equation m / n = 1.67.
