Question

Which statements are true about the ordered pair (−3, 1) and the system of equations?

{x−4y=6
3x+y=−8
Select each correct answer.
The ordered pair (−3, 1) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true.
 The ordered pair (−3, 1) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true.
  The ordered pair (−3, 1) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.
 The ordered pair (−3, 1) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true.

Answer 1

The ordered pair (-3, 1) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first eation true

Answer 2

x - 4y = 6 (-3, 1)
-3 - 4(1) = 6
-3 - 4 = 6
-7 = 6

so this in incorrect. the ordered pair is not a solution to the first equation.

3x + y = -8 (-3, 1)
3(-3) + 1 = -8
-9 + 1 = -8
-8 = -8

this is correct. the ordered pair is a solution to the second equation.

the answer is the ordered pair (-3, 1) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true.
