Final answer:

After substituting the x-value from the point (37, 12) into the equation y = 11x − 95 and finding that the resulting y-value does not match the y-value of the point, it is clear that (37, 12) is not a solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the point (37, 12) is a solution to the equation y = 11x − 95, we substitute the x-value (37) into the equation and see if the resulting y-value is 12:

y = 11(37) − 95

y = 407 − 95

y = 312

Since the resulting y-value is 312, which is not equal to 12, we conclude that (37, 12) is not a solution to the equation.
