Question

Which ordered pair is a solution set for the linear equation, x + 16 = 6y? A (16,4) B (2, 3) C (-4,-2) D (-10,-1)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

to figure out if a pair is a solution, just replace x and y values and check if the equation is true,then

Step 1

`\begin{gathered} x+16=6y \\ A)(16,4)\rightarrow when\text{ x=16 and y =4} \\ \text{replace} \\ 16+16=6\cdot4 \\ 32=24\rightarrow False,then\text{ A is not a solution} \end{gathered}`

Step 2

`\begin{gathered} B)(2,3)\rightarrow whenx=\text{ 2 and y=3} \\ x+16=6y \\ \text{replace} \\ 2+16=6\cdot3 \\ 18=18\rightarrow true \\ so\text{ B is a solution} \end{gathered}`
