Question

Is (2,4) a solution to the equation y = x – 2?

Answer 1

substitute x = 2 and y = 4 into your equation

Answer 2

what do you get?

Answer 3

im honestly not the smartest person in math so i have no freaking idea

Answer 4

ive tried to solve but but im lost

Answer 5

substitute 2 into x so

y = 2 - 2

then substitute 4 into y so

4 = 2 - 2

do you get the substitution?

Answer 6

no but i wish i did.

Answer 7

y = x - 2

x = 2 and y = 4

so you REPLACE x with 2 and REPLACE y with 4

Answer 8

oh okay but you didnt have to go all caps lock on me now. jeez just asking for help thats all.

Answer 9

i was capsing to stress the words lol

Answer 10

people notice capitalized words more

Answer 11

Oh well that does make sense lol

Answer 12

anyway

4 = 2 - 2

is that true? is 4 equal to 2 minus 2?

Answer 13

Im just going to take a guess and say no

Answer 14

right. because 2 - 2 is 0 and not 4

so (2,4) is NOT a solution (again, capitalizing for stress)

Answer 15

oh well thank you so much :D
