Question

Question 4 (1 point) Determine whether the ordered pair (3,28) is a solution to the equation 2x- y/2 = -8 (3, 28) Is a solution (3, 28) is not a solution.

Answer 1

It is a solution

Explanation:

Given

`2x - (y)/(2) = -8`

Required

Determine if
`(3,28)` is a solution

`(3,28)` implies that:

`x = 3`

`y = 28`

To check if it is a solution, we simply substitute values for x and y in the given equation;

`2x - (y)/(2) = -8`

`2(3) - (28)/(2) = -8`

`6 - 14= -8`

`-8= -8`

Since both sides of the equation are equal; then, Yes, it is a solution
