Question

(x+3)y=14 which ordered pair is a solution to this equation ? A. 7,2 B 11,1 C 3,2 or D 5,2

Answer 1

(x + 3)y = 14

We just test each option.

A. x = 11, y = 1

(x + 3)y = 14

(7 + 3)*2

10*2

20 = 14 This is not correct, so the option is wrong.



B. x = 11, y = 1

(x + 3)y = 14

(11 + 3)*1

14*1

14 = 14 This is correct, so the option is the correct.

So option B is the correct one. No need to test the other options.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

The answer would be B.
Steps:
1. Take your X coordinate and plug it into your equation where the X is.
2. Take your Y coordinate and plug it into your equation where the Y is.
3. Distribute your Y to your numbers in the parenthesis.
4. Finally add the two numbers together.
5. See if you got the same answer on both sides of the equal sign.
Hope this helps! (:
