Determine wether (1,12) is a solution of y=16x-6

Question

Determine wether (1,12) is a solution of y=16x-6

Answer 1

To determine if (1,12) is a solution for the equation y = 16x -6,

 

substitute 1 for x in the equation and solve for y, if y equals 12 then (1,12) is a solution

 

if we substitute  1 for x when get y= 16 * 1 - 6 =10

 

Since 10 is not 12, we say that (1,12) is not a solution of y = 16x -6

Answer 2

(1,12)  =>  x=1 and y=12.

Plug these in to the equation and see if both sides are equal.

That is see if the values for x and y solve the equation
