Question

Is the ordered pair, in the form (x, y), a solution of the equation below?

Ordered Pair: (0, 8)

Linear Equation: 4x - y = 8

True

False

Answer 1

FALSE. The ordered pair(0,8) is not the solution of the equation
`4x-y=8`

Explanation:

Given: Ordered pair (0,8) and linear equation :
`4x-y=8`

we have to show here that: Is the ordered pair (0,8) in the form of (x,y) is the solution of the given equation:

here, x= 0 and y= 8

Now, substitute these values in the given equation:

`4x-y=8`

`4\cdot 0 -8=8`

`-8=8`, which is false.

therefore, the given ordered pair (0,8) is not the solution of the linear equation
`4x-y=8`,

so here the condition is FALSE.
