Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? −7x+3y=2

Answer 1

(-2/7,2/3)

Explanation:

Let's solve for x.

−7x+3y=2

Step 1: Add -3y to both sides.

−7x+3y+−3y=2+−3y

−7x=−3y+2

Step 2: Divide both sides by -7.

−7x/ −7 = −3y+2/ −7

x= 3/ 7 y+ −2/ 7

Answer:

x= 3/ 7 y+ −2/ 7

Let's solve for y.

−7x+3y=2

Step 1: Add 7x to both sides.

−7x+3y+7x=2+7x

3y=7x+2

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3y/ 3 = 7x+2/ 3

y= 7/ 3 x+ 2/ 3

Answer:

y= 7/ 3 x+ 2/ 3

Answer 2

answer:

(-2/7, 2/3)

Explanation:
-7x + 3y = 2
x = 0
-7(0) + 3y = 2
3y = 2
/3 /3
y = 2/3
y = 0
-7x + 3(0) = 2
-7x = 2
/-7 /-7
x = -2/7
(-2/7, 2/3)
