Answer: D (12.42, 18.09)

Step-by-step explanation:

For A, if you substitute them, 6.15+2.41(x because x always is first), you get 8.56 but y is 8.56. So therefore, A is wrong cause it is a solution but it asks us for an incorrect solution.

For B, if you substitute the numbers, 6.09+6.15 = 12.24 but y is 12.24 meaning 12.24 = 12.24 which is true. But the question asks us which is not true/a solution, so therefore, B is also wrong.

For C, if you substitute the numbers, you get 9.72+6.15 which is 15.87. Since y is 15.87, the substituted question is 15.87=15.87 which is true and therefore, C is also wrong since it is true but it is asking us for an incorrect solution.

We are then left with D, which is the correct option. I'm guessing you want an explanation for why it is correct. So if you substitute the numbers, you would get y = 12.42+6.15 and 12.42+6.15 is 18.57 but y is 18.09. So the equation is 18.09 = 18.57 which doesn't make sense and is false. Thus, D is the correct answer because it provides a set of numbers that is a false solution to the equation.

REMEMBER:

In an ordered pair, x is the first number while y is the second, so make sure you substitute correctly!
