Question

The point (4,0) is a solution to

this system.
(-x+6y=4
(3x + y = 12
true or False

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

to determine if (4, 0 ) is a solution to the system, substitute x = 4, y = 0 into the left side of both equations.

If the left side is equal to the right side of both equations then the point is a solution to the system.

- 4 + 6(0) = - 4 + 0 = - 4 ≠ 4

3(4) + 0 = 12 + 0 = 12

since only one equation is true, the point (4, 0 ) is not a solution to the system.
