Question

Is (-2, -5) a solution of the system, 3x + 2y = 4 and 2x - 5y = -29? (Points : 1)
yes
no

Answer 1

Plug in -2 for x into both equations and -5 for y into both equations. If it gives you a true statement, then it is.

Answer 2

ok it didnt so i guess its false

Answer 3

Yup,

3x + 2y = 4

3(-2) + 2(-5) = 4

-6 + (-10) = 4

-16 = 4 <-- not true

However, if the y was 5,

3(-2) + 2(5) = 4

-6 + 10 = 4 <-- true.

Answer 4

yeah but its false right

Answer 5

yup
