Question

Which of the or the following ordered pairs is a solution of x+1/2 y=1?

Answer 1

The answer is (-2,6). -2 will replace x variable and 6 will replace the y variable. when it is plug in you may simplify.

x + 1/2 y =1 .... -2 + 1/2 * 6 = 1 .... (half of 6 is 3) ..... -2 + 3 = 1 .... 1 = 1

Answer 2

Option a) (-2,6)

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

`x+\displaystyle(1)/(2)y=1`

a)(-2,6)

`(-2)+\displaystyle(1)/(2)(6)=-2 + 3 = 1`

Thus, it is a solution of the given equation.

b)(2,-6)

`(2)+\displaystyle(1)/(2)(-6)=2 - 3 = -1`

Thus, it is not a solution of the given equation.

c)(-2,-6)

`(-2)+\displaystyle(1)/(2)(-6)=-2 - 3 = -5`

Thus, it is not a solution of the given equation.
