Question

Which statement about the ordered pairs (−9, 3) and (2, −4) is true for the equation 6x−y/2=14?

(2, −4) is a solution to the equation.

Neither ordered pair is a solution.

Both ordered pairs are solutions.

(−9, 3) is a solution to the equation
plz help idk how to do thisss!

Answer 1

Neither ordered pair is a solution.

Explanation:

(x,y) is an ordered pair. Use the equation and substitute the values of the ordered pairs for x and y.

6(-9) - (3)/2 = 14 This equation is not true.

6(2) - (-4)/2 = 14 This equation is also not true. Therefore the answer is neither ordered pair is a solution.
