Yes because when you plug it in you get the the same Y. Which means yes

Answer:
Yes

Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2y = 17

We are given the values (1, 6)

Substitute then into the equation

(I put a question mark to basically ask the question “is 5(1) + 2(6) equal to 17?”)

5(1) + 2(6) = 17?
5 + 12 = 17?
Yes!

Hope this helped and made sense :)
