Question

Decide whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the system.

x+y=5
X-y= 3
; (4,1)
Is the given ordered pair a solution to the given system?
A. Yes, because (4,1) makes both equations true.
B. No, because (4,1) makes neither equation true.
C. No, because (4,1) only makes the equation x + y = 5 true.
D. No, because (4,1) only makes the equation x-y = 3 true.

Answer 1

A. it is true for both equations

Explanation:

x = 4 and y = 1

sub these values into the equations

4 + 1 = 5

4 - 1 = 3
