Final answer:

(x, y) is not a solution to the system of equations 2x-5y=4 and -3x+2y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (x, y) is a solution to the system of equations 2x-5y=4 and -3x+2y=5, we substitute the values of x and y into the equations and check if both equations are true.

Let's substitute x and y into the first equation:

2(x) - 5(y) = 4

2x - 5y = 4

Now substitute x and y into the second equation:

-3(x) + 2(y) = 5

-3x + 2y = 5

If both equations are true, then (x, y) is a solution to the system of equations. If not, then it is not a solution.

Let's do the calculations:

2x - 5y = 4 becomes 2(x) - 5(y) = 4 becomes 2x - 5y = 4

-3x + 2y = 5 becomes -3(x) + 2(y) = 5 becomes -3x + 2y = 5

If we substitute the given values of x and y into the equations and both equations are true, then (x, y) is a solution to the system of equations. If not, then it is not a solution.

Let's substitute the values of x and y into the equations:

2(3) - 5(-2) = 4

6 + 10 = 4

16 = 4

-3(3) + 2(-2) = 5

-9 - 4 = 5

-13 = 5

Since both equations are not true when substituting the values of x=3 and y=-2, (x, y) is not a solution to the system of equations.
