Question

Is the ordered pair a solution to the given system? True or False

y = 6 x + 12
y = 2 x - 4

(-4, -12)


Is this true or fasle

Answer 1

To see if the ordered pair is indeed a solution, you must plug in each of the x and y values in the ordered pair into both the equations. If each equation is true, than the ordered pair is a solution.

-12 = 6(-4) + 12

-12 = -12

The first equation is true!

-12 = 2(-4) - 4

-12 = -12

Both equations are true! (-4, -12) is a solution to the system.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

I believe the answer would be false.
