Hello! Yes, it's a solution.

We are asked to determine if (3,2) is a solution of 4x + 6y = 24.

To determine that, plug in 3 for x (because it's the x-coordinate) and 2 for y (because it's the y-coordinate):

4(3) + 6(2) = 24

12 + 12 = 24

24 = 24

A true statement means that (3,2) is a solution.

Final answer:

Yes, (3,2) is a solution to the equation 4x+6y=24.


Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (3,2) is a solution to the equation 4x+6y=24, we substitute the values of x and y into the equation and check if it holds true.

Substituting x=3 and y=2 into 4x+6y=24:

4(3) + 6(2) = 12 + 12 = 24

Since the equation is true when x=3 and y=2, (3,2) is indeed a solution to the equation.
