Given:


x+3y=15
4x+y=6

To find whether (3, -6) is a solution to both equations, we can substitute the given values to both of the equation.

Equation 1: x + 3y = 15

Substitute (3, -6)


x+3y=15
(3)+3(-6)=15
3-18=15
-15\\e15

From here, we can already see that (3, -6) is not a solution to x + 3y = 15.

To check, let us also try substituting these values to the second equation.

Equation 2: 4x + y = 6

Substitute (3, -6)


4x+y=6
4(3)+(-6)=6
12-6=6
6=6

The second equation has (3, -6) as its solution. However, since it is a system of equations, both equation should have the same solutions.

Therefore, (3, -6) is not a solution to the given system. The answer would be false.
