Question

Y = 2 - 2

y = 3x +4
Is (4, 2) a solution of the system?
Choose 1 answer:
А)
Yes
B
No

Answer 1

B. No

Explanation:

In order to see if (4, 2) is a solution, we have to plug 4 in for x and 2 in for y in the equations. If it's a true statement, then we know that the point is a solution.

One of the equations is y = 3x + 4. Plug in 4 for x and 2 for y:

y =? 3x + 4

2 =? 3 * 4 + 4

2 =? 12 + 4

2 ≠ 16

Thus, we know that (4, 2) is not a solution and the answer is B.
