Question

Tell whether the ordered pair (5,-6) is a solution of the system of linear equations. 6x+3y=12 4x+y=14

Answer 1

Yes, it is a solution.

Explanation:

We can plug in the ordered pair (5, -6) for the x and y values:

6(5)+3(-6)=12

30-18=12

4(5)-6=14

20-6=14

The ordered pair (5, -6) is a solution of the linear equations.
