Question

Is (6,1) a solution of the system of linear equations? - 4x + y = - 23 x+y = 7 HR Choose the correct answer below. O Yes O No IS yes or no

Answer 1

`4x+y=-23`
`x+y=7`

To know if the solution is (6 , 1) you use the value of x and y in the solution(x,y) in both equations and prove if the result is a real math expressioon.

In the first equation:

`4(6)+1=-23`
`24+1=-23`
`25=-23`As you can see (6,1) is not the solution of this equation, because 25 is not equal to -23.

Second equation:

`6+1=7`
`7=7`As the given coordinates for the solution (6,1) applies only as a solution of the second equation. This is not the solution of the system of linear equations.
