Whether or not the ordered pair is a solution to the equation .

Question

X+y=8 (4,6)

Answer 1

Dear Tammy,

   To find out if the ordered pair is a solution to the equation, just substitute the "X" for the X in the equation and the "Y"

 

for the "Y" in the equation.

 

 

X +Y = 8       X= 4   and Y=6     Therefore,  4 +6= 8 , but this equation is false because  10≠8  (Ten does not equal to

 

eight).

 

In conclusion, this coordinate is not one of the points on this equation; it is not a solution.

 

If this work helped you, please give me a thumbs up.
