Question

Tell whether the given ordered pair is a solution of each equation.

3x + 5 = y; (1, 8)
y = (x - 1.2)(-3); y equals (x - 1.2) (- 3); (0, 1.2)

Answer 1

To determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution of each equation, substitute the values and check if the equations hold true.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution of each equation, we substitute the values of x and y into the equation and check if the equation holds true.

Equation 1: 3x + 5 = y

Substituting the values from the ordered pair (1, 8):

3(1) + 5 = 8

3 + 5 = 8

8 = 8

The equation is true, so (1, 8) is a solution.

Equation 2: y = (x - 1.2)(-3)

Substituting the values from the ordered pair (0, 1.2):

1.2 = (0 - 1.2)(-3)

1.2 = (-1.2)(-3)

1.2 = 3.6

The equation is not true, so (0, 1.2) is not a solution.
