Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? 5x+12y=60

(0,5)
2, 25/6
both
or neither

Answer 1

both

Explanation:

you can solve this problem with substitution:

5(0) + 12(5) = 60

0 + 60 = 60 is true, therefore the first ordered pair is a solution

the second ordered pair is:

2, 25/6

therefore:

5(2) + 12(25/6) = 60

10 + 50 = 60

10 + 50 = 60 is true, therefore the second ordered pair is also a solution.

in conclusion, both of the ordered pairs are solutions.
