Question

Which of the ordered pairs in the form (x, y) is a solution of this equation?

Three x minus begin fraction y over four end fraction equals eleven
(3, –8), (4, 4)
a. The first is not a solution, but the second is.
b. Neither is a solution.
c. The first is a solution, but the second is not.
d. Both are solutions.

Answer 1

`3x-(y)/(4)=11\\\\ 3\cdot3-(-8)/(4)=11\\ 9+2=11\\ 11=11\\\\ 3\cdot4-(4)/(4)=11\ 12-1=11\\ 11=11`
