Question

Determine if the ordered pair(6,-8) is a solutionof 3x-y=26

Answer 1

Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`3x-y=26`

To determine if the ordered pair(6,-8) is a solution, substitute:

`\begin{gathered} x=6 \\ y=-8 \\ \implies LHS\colon3(6)-(-8) \\ =18+8 \\ =26(\text{RHS)} \end{gathered}`

Since the point satisfies the equation, it is a solution to the given equation.
