Question

Is the point (1,3) a solution to the linear equation 5x - 9y = 32?

Answer 1

89

Explanation:

Answer 2

We are given the following equation:

`5x-9y=32`

To determine if the point (1, 3) is a solution to this equation we will replace the given values since the point (1, 3) means that when x = 1, y = 3. Replacing in the equation:

`5(1)-9(3)=32`

Solving the operation we should get the same value on both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 5-27=32 \\ -22\\e32 \end{gathered}`

Since both sides are different this means that the point (1, 3) is not a solution to the equation.
