Question

Why is (0,5) not a solution to the equation 5x + y=10? Explain

Answer 1

If you try to plug the solution into the equation, it will not be true.

Explanation:

Plugging in the x and y values of the solution into the equation gives you

5(0)+1(5)=10

This simplifies to

5=10

Which makes the equation false.

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

5x + y=10

Let x = 0 and y = 5

5*0 +5 = 10

0+5 = 10

5 =10

This is not true so (0,5) is not a solution
