Question

Which statement about the ordered pairs (-9, 3) and (2, -4) is true for the equation 6x=14? 2

Both ordered pairs are solutions.
(-9, 3) is a solution to the equation.
Neither ordered pair is a solution.
(2, 4) is a solution to the equation.​

Answer 1

neither ordered pair is a solution

Explanation:

to determine if the pairs are a solution, substitute the x- coordinate into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are a solution.

(- 9, 3 ) with x = - 9

6(- 9) = - 54 ≠ 14 ← not a solution

(2, - 4 ) with x = 2

6(2) = 12 ≠ 14 ← not a solution
