Question

Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution to the system:

5x - 2y = 24
2x + y = 6
(6, 3)

Answer 1

No it isn’t a solution because if u plug in the numbers you’ll get no solution

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

5x-2y=24

5x=24+2y____equ 1

2x+y=6

Y=6-2x______equ 2

Now substitute the value of y in equation 1

5x=24+2y

5x=24+2(6-2x)

5x=24+12-4x

5x+4x=36

X=36/9

X=4

Now, put the value of x in equation 2

Y=6-2x

Y=6-2*4

Y= -2

(4,-2)
