The statement explains why the ordered pair is a solution to the system of equations. Is the statement true or false? The ordered pair (−3,−6) is a solution for the first equation, and it is a solution for the second equation. Therefore, (−3,−6) is a solution to the system of equations. −4x+y=65x−y=21 true or false
Accepted Solution
A:
-4x+ y = 6. (-3,-6) -4(-3) + (-6) = 6 12 + (-6) = 6 12 - 6 = 6 6 = 6 the ordered pair (-3, -6) is a solution to the first equation.
5x - y = 21. (-3, -6) 5(-3) - (-6) = 21 -15 - (-6) = 21 -15 + 6 = 21 -9 = 21 the ordered pair (-3, -6) is not a solution to the second equation.
