The ordered pair (8, 2) is not a solution to the system of linear equations.

To determine whether the ordered pair (8, 2) is a solution to the system of linear equations x - y = 6 and 2x - 10y = 4, we can substitute the values of x and y from the pair into both equations.

Equation 1: x - y = 6

Substituting x = 8 and y = 2:

8 - 2 = 6

6 = 6

Equation 2: 2x - 10y = 4

Substituting x = 8 and y = 2:

2(8) - 10(2) = 4

16 - 20 = 4

-4 = 4

As the second equation does not hold true when substituting the values of x and y, the ordered pair (8, 2) is not a solution to the system of linear equations. The inconsistency in the second equation indicates that the given pair does not satisfy both equations simultaneously.

The question probable may be:

Tell whether the other pair (8,2) is a solution of the system of linear equations.

x - y = 6

2x - 10y = 4

The ordered pair ______ a solution.
