Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? X+7y=17

Answer Choices

A. Only (10,1)
B. Only (-4,3)
C. Both (10,1) and (-4,3)

Answer 1

C.) Both the answers are true

Explanation:

Simply plug it in

(10, 1) = 10 + 7(1) = 17

10 + 7 = 17

17 = 17

So A.) is true, but let's check B.)

-4 + 7(3) = 17

-4 + 21 = 17

17 = 17

B.) is also true

Answer 2

C. Both (10,1) and (-4,3)

Explanation:

The equation is x + 7y = 17

Option A: x = 10, y = 1

Now, putting the value in the equation,

L.H.S.,

x + 7y

= 10 + 7*1

= 10 + 7

= 17

Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

The equation is correct.

Option B: x = -4, y = 3

Now, putting the value in the equation,

L.H.S.,

x + 7y

= -4 + 7*3

= -4 + 21

= 17

Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

The equation is also correct with this value.

As the option "A" and Option "B" shows the correct value, the answer is both A and B.
