Question

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the equation 3x + 12 y equals 2

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to plug each of the ordered pairs in the linear equation to check if they are solutions to the equation. Then, we have:

1. Ordered pair (7, 10):

`3x+12y=2\Rightarrow3(7)+12(10_{})=21+120=141\\e2`

This is NOT a solution.

2. (-8, -8)

`3(-8)+12(-8)=-24-96=-120\\e2`

This is NOT a solution.

3. (-7, 4)

`3(-7)+12(4)=-21+48=27\\e2`

This is NOT a solution.

4. (-2, -4)

`3(-2)+12(-4)=-6-48=-54\\e2`

This is NOT a solution.

Therefore, the correct option is NONE OF THE ABOVE.
