Answer:

The ordered pair is one of the solution to the system of equations. See below.

Explanation:

To tell if the ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations or not, we can do by substituting the ordered pair in both equations.

(x, y) = (5,-6)

Substitute x = 5 and y = -6 in both equations.

First Equation

6x+3y=12

6(5)+3(-6)=12

30-18=12

12=12

Second Equation

4x+y=14

4(5)-6=14

20-6=14

14=14

Because both equations have same sides which mean that both equations are true for (5,-6). Therefore (5,-6) is part of the equations.
