Answer:

No

Explanation:

To determine if a point is a solution to a system of equations, you need to determine if the point is a solution to both equations.

Is ( 2,10) a solution to -3x-4y = 4

Substitute into the equation and see if it is true

-3(2) -4(10) = 4

-6 -40 = 4

-46 =4

This is not true so it is not a solution

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The solution(s) of a system is/are the point(s) (x, y) where the lines intersect.

The question asks if (2, 10) is a solution of the system. This means the "x" value is "2" and the "y" value is "10".

We can substitute those values into both of the equations.


-3x-4y=4\\-3(2)-4(10)=4\\-6-40=4\\-46=6 \Rightarrow Incorrect!

The "x" and "y" values must be true for both equations, therefore (2, 10) is not a solution of the system.
