Is (-6, 3) a solution to this system of equations? 2x + 10y = 17 and 7x + 17y = 9?

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

We have the equations

2x+10y=17

7x+17y=9

If we plug in the point (-6,3) into both equations we see that

2(-6)+10(3) = 17

-12+30 = 17

18 ≠17

7(-6)+17(3) = 9

-42+51 = 9

9 = 9

Since the point only works for one of the equations, it is not a system of linear equations and the point is not a solution.

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

2x + 10y = 17

2(-6) + 10(3) = 17 Does the pair solve?

Answer 3

2(-6) + 10(3) = 17 True?
