ANSWER

It is not a solution.

Step-by-step explanation

To find if the point is a solution to the system of equations, we have to replace the values of x and y with 3 and 2 respectively in both equations.

If the solution satisfies both equations, then, it is a solution of the system of equations.

We have:

2 = 4(3) - 10

2 = 12 - 10

2 = 2

Since both sides are equal, it is a solution of the equation.

2 = 3(3) - 6

2 = 9 - 6

2 = 3

Since both sides are not equal, it is not a solution of the equation.

Therefore, the point (3, 2) is not a solution to the system of equations because it is not a solution of both equations.
