Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? 5x-2y=18 Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) Only (5,3) (Choice B) Only (4,1) (Choice C) Both (5,3) (4,1) (Choice D)

Neither

Answer 1

(Choise B) is correct option.

Explanation:

The given equation is 5x - 2y = 18 ....... (1)

Now, we have to find an ordered pair of a solution of the given equation.

Now, the point (5, 3) does not satisfy the equation (1). i.e. putting x = 5, we get y = 3.5 but not 3.

Again the point (4,1) satisfies the equation (1) as we get y = 1 by putting x = 4 in the equation.

Therefore, (Choice B) is the correct option. (Answer)
