Question

Determine if (2, 3) is a solution to the following equation
y = 5x - 1

Answer 1

No, it is not

Explanation:

You have to plug it in:

(x,y) = (2,3)

y=5x-1 is also 3=5(2)-1

3=10-1

3=9 is a false statement so it is not a solution.

Answer 2

y=5x-1
3=5(2)-1
3=10-1
3=9
Therefore, 2,3 is not a solution because 3 is never equal to 9.
