which is a solution of the equation y=4x+3 (5,17) (17,5) (4,19) (4,16)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitute x and see which will be right

OpenStudy (perl):

if you plug in values, which one will produce a true statement (like 2 = 2 )

OpenStudy (perl):

example: y = 4x + 3 plug in the point (5,17) x=5, y=17 17 = 4*5 + 3 is this a true statement? does 17 = 23 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (perl):

no, 17 does not equal to 23

OpenStudy (perl):

therefore (5,17) is not a solution to the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I was using the equation before you calculated 17=23

OpenStudy (perl):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand it now, thanks. :)

OpenStudy (perl):

so thats one way of approaching this problem, testing the points individually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I like that way better. Simple it is. 😌

OpenStudy (perl):

thats pretty cool, how did you do that emoticon
