Q. −x+4y=−9y=−2x+6Is (2,3) a solution of the system?Choose 1 answer:(A) Yes(B) No
Substitute and check first equation: First, we will substitute the point (2,3) into the first equation and check if it holds true. The first equation is −x+4y=−9. If we substitute x=2 and y=3, we get −2+4×3=−9.
Result of first equation substitution: After performing the calculation, we find that −2+12=10, which is not equal to −9. Therefore, the point (2,3) does not satisfy the first equation.
No need to check second equation: Since the point (2,3) does not satisfy the first equation, there is no need to check the second equation. The point (2,3) is not a solution to the system of equations.
