Question

Could someone please help quickly?

Which ordered pair in the form (a, b) is a solution of this equation?

4a – 5b = 24


A.
(0, 6)

B.
(–5, –2)

C.
(6, 0)

D.
(–2, –5)

Answer 1

let's test choice A

Answer 2

(0,6) is in the form (a,b)

a = 0
b = 6

Answer 3

4a – 5b = 24

4*0 – 5*6 = 24 ... plug in a = 0, b = 6

0 - 30 = 24

-30 = 24 ... false

Answer 4

since the result is false, this means (0,6) is NOT a solution to 4a – 5b = 24
