let's test choice A

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

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

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

4a – 5b = 24

4*0 – 5*6 = 24 ... plug in a = 0, b = 6

0 - 30 = 24

-30 = 24 ... false

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

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