Answer:
No, it is not a solution
Explanation:
To find if an ordered pair (x, y) is a solution to a system of equations in x and y,
plug in the given values for x and y into each equation and if these values satisfy both equations, then they are a solution
Given equations are:
8x - y = 4 ...........(1)
x + 6y = 2 .........(2)
Ordered pair: (4, 0)
Substitute x = 4, y = 0 in equation (1):
Left side: 8(4) - 0 = 32 - 0 = 32
Right side = 4
Left and right sides do not match
So (4, 0) is not a solution
We don't have to test the other equation; if any one equation is violated by the given ordered pair, then that pair cannot be a solution
