Question

Is the ordered pair a solution of the given linear equation?

5x - 4y= 11; (3,1)
No or yes

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

5x - 4y= 11; (3,1)

substitute the 3 in the ordered pair into the x. so now it looks like 5(3). when a number is right next to another without a sign then its multiplication, so 5 times 3 is 15. then substitute the 1 in the ordered pair for the y. making 4(1). so now we have 15-4. and 15-4 equals 11. so yes

Answer 2

Explanation:

Yes, because 5(3) - 4(1) does equal 11

15-11 =11

11=11
