Q. y=−4x−5y=3x−2Is (3,7) a solution of the system?Choose 1 answer:(A) Yes(B) No
Substituting point into first equation: First, we will substitute the point (3,7) into the first equation and check if it holds true. The first equation is y=−4x−5. If we substitute x=3 and y=7, we get 7=−4⋅3−5.
Checking if first equation holds true: After performing the calculation, we find that 7=−12−5, which simplifies to 7=−17. This is not true. Therefore, the point (3,7) does not satisfy the first equation.
Conclusion: Point does not satisfy first equation: Since the point (3,7) does not satisfy the first equation, there is no need to check the second equation. The point (3,7) cannot be a solution to the system of equations if it does not satisfy both equations.
