Question

2. Determine which ordered pair in the form (a, b) is a solution of the given equation. 3a – 4b = 21

(–2, –3)
(0, 7)
(7, 0)
(–3, –2)

Answer 1

To answer the equation 3a – 4b = 21 , we substitute each point in the given choices to the given expression. In this case,
a. 3(-2) - 4(-3) = 6b. 3(0) - 4(7) = -28c. 3(7) - 4(0) = 21d. 3(-3) - 4(-2) = -1
The point that is equal to 21 when substituted is C.
