Explanation:
9. a)
2•(-2) = 2 - 6
-4 = -4
-2 -2 = -2•2
-4 = -4
Yes, the ordered pair is the solution
9. b)
-1 = 3•(-2) +5
-1 = -6 +5
-1 = -1
3•(-2) +(-1) = -2
-6 -1 = -2
-7 ≠ -2
No, the ordered pair is not the solution
10. (-1, -1) and (3, -1)
11.
y = 6 +x
Now substitute it in the first equation:
3•(6 +x) = 5x
18 + 3x = 5x
18 = 2x
x = 18/2
x = 9
Now, substitute x = 9 in the second equation:
y -9 = 6
y = 6 +9
y = 15
