Question

Decide whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. 

(-1, 6)

anonymous · Answer

(-1, 6) 
x + y = 7 x - y = -5

anonymous · Answer

sorry left out some part of the question but i think it is

anonymous · Answer

plug it in, do you get -5?

anonymous · Answer

x=-1, and y=6, from the ordered pair. so just plug those into your given system of equations.

anonymous · Answer

(x,y)=(-1,6)

jwheele1 · Answer

X , Y
(-1, 6)

x      + y  =   7 x  - y  = -5
(-1) + 6  =  7(-1) -6  = -5 
        5    =   -7    -6   = -5
        5    =       -13    =  -5    

No of those numbers equal each other.
statement is false.

Yo jwheele1, don't solve it for the person. Help them. that is what this website is about, I think

anonymous · Answer

no solution

jwheele1 · Answer

I usually solve it but show the work So that they can see each step.

jwheele1 · Answer

On bigger more complex problems i do break it up and ask questions

anonymous · Answer

Aright my bad

anonymous · Answer

what I'm I right no solution?

anonymous · Answer

@Esmy The ordered pair is not a solution of the given system. The statement is false.

anonymous · Answer

okay thank you ... :)

jwheele1 · Answer

The answer is not a number or no solution....the anser is either true r false....in this case false

jwheele1 · Answer

or..."no, theordered pair does not provide a solution to the given system."
