To know if the point(4,2) lies on an equation, we can replace 4 for x and 2 for y and we have to make sure that the result on the left side equals the number on the right side, like this:

1. 5x + 2y=20

5*4+2*2=20

20+4=20

24=20, wrong, 24 is not equal to 20, then the point doesn't lie on this equation.

2. 2x+4y = 16

2*4+4*2 = 16

8 + 8 = 16

16=16, this is correct, then the pint (4,2) lie on the equation 2x+4y = 16

3. x+6y = 16

4+6*2=16

4+12=16

16=16, this is correct, then the pint (4,2) lie on the equation x+6y = 16

4. 3x+3y = 13

3*4+3*2=13

12+6=13

18=13, wrong, 18 is not equal to 13, then the point doesn't lie on this equation.

5. 4x+2y=20

4*4+2*2=20

16+4=20

20=20, this is correct, then the pint (4,2) lie on the equation 4x+2y=20

6. 6x+y=26

6*4+2=26

24+2=26

26=26, this is correct, then the pint (4,2) lie on the equation 6x+y=26
