Question

Verify the solution (3, -2) for the equation. Identify the true statement.

A. \(0 .4 = 4\)
B. \(0 .(-2) = -2\)
C. \(0 . (-1) = -1\)
D. \(0 .(-3) = -3\)

Answer 1

To verify the solution (3, -2) for the equation, substitute the values of x and y into the equation options provided and see which statement is true. The true statement is B. 0.(-2) = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To verify the solution (3, -2) for the equation, we need to substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if it holds true. The equation is not mentioned in the question, so we cannot provide a specific answer.

However, we can go through the options provided and see which statement is true for the given solution. In this case:

• A. 0.4 is not equal to 4, so this statement is false.
• B. 0.(-2) = -2 is true, as any number multiplied by 0 is equal to 0.
• C. 0 . (-1) = -1 is false, as any number multiplied by 0 is equal to 0.
• D. 0 . (-3) = -3 is false, as any number multiplied by 0 is equal to 0.

Therefore, the true statement for the given solution is B. 0.(-2) = -2.
