The ordered pair (2, 3) is not a solution to 3x + 4y = 18

The ordered pair (2, 3) is a solution to 2x - 2y = 2

How to determine the true statement about the ordered pair

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

3x + 4y = 18

2x - 2y = 2

This can be expressed as

3x + 4y = 18

x - y = 1

So, we have

x = y + 1

Substitute the known values into the equation

3(y + 1) + 4y = 18

3y + 3 + 4y = 18

So, we have

7y = 15

Evaluate

y = 15/7

Hence, the ordered pair is not a solution to the system of equations
