Question

Is each ordered pair a solution of 4x – 3y . 6? Explain. (0,2)

Answer 1

What you have is an ordered pair

(0 , 2)
(x , y)

This means that 0 = x
2 = y

So what we do...is we take our equation

4x - 3y = 6

And everywhere we see an 'x' we replace it with 0 ...and everywhere we see a 'y' we replace it with a 2

So that becomes

4(0) - 3(2) = 6
0 - 6 = 6

-6 = 6

That is not true since \(\large -6 \cancel{=} 6\)

So this point is NOT a solution to the equation
