Final answer:

Yes, (4,5) is a solution to the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To check if (4,5) is a solution to the system of equations, substitute the values for x and y into the equations:

  1. Equation 1: 5x + y = 25

    Replace x with 4 and y with 5:

    5(4) + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25

    So, the first equation is satisfied.

  2. Equation 2: y = (3/7)x + (23/7)

    Replace x with 4 and y with 5:

    5 = (3/7)(4) + (23/7)

    5 = 12/7 + 23/7 = 35/7 = 5

    So, the second equation is also satisfied.

Since both equations are satisfied, (4,5) is indeed a solution to the system of equations.
