Which ordered pair is a solution to this equation? (x+7)y=10
This is not a "linear function," because you have the product xy on the left side. Are you positive that you have copied down this problem correctly? Where are the answer choices?
(x + 7) y = 10
Now all you have to do is substitute those in until you find your answer
for example (4,1) 4 would be x and 1 would be y
I also think your problem should be wriiten as this : (x+7) y=10 give yourself some room or it is considered incorrect like mathmale stated
how do i substitute
So, again, where are your four answer choices?
(4,1) (3,1) (2,1) (13,2)
Let's check out (13,2) (determine whether this is or is not a solution). In the given equation, let y=2 and x=13. Is the resulting equation true or false? Please show your work if you want feedback on it.
Replace the letter with the corresponding number. $$\huge (x,y)$$
Skullpatrol summed it up :)
Let's check out (13,2) (determine whether this is or is not a solution). In the given equation, let y=2 and x=13. Is the resulting equation true or false? Please show your work if you want feedback on it.
how do i know if its true or not
where do i start
Are the two sides equal?
would you please substitute as indicated: In the given equation, let y=2 and x=13. Is the resulting equation true or false? Please show your work if you want feedback on it. The resulting equation will either be true or it will not. 5 does not equal 4. 9 does equal 9. True
Here's the equation: (x + 7) y = 10
false
Try the next pair.
Please show your work, if you want feedback.
well 7 does not = 10 so its false right?
(x + 7) y = 10 becomes (13+7) ( 2 ) = 10 which in turn becomes (20)(2) = ? 10 This is what I'm asking you to do. Try the next pair, please.
im so confused how does it before ( 2 ) = 10 and (20)(2)
We have (13+7) ( 2 ) = 10 , which comes straight from (x+7)y = 10. I let x=13 and y=2. Then (13+7) = 20. Next, I multiply 20 by 2. Result? 40. 40 is not equal to 10, so (13,2) is not a solution of your (x+7)y=10.
What is the next point? You need to determine whether the coordinates of this next point make the equation true or not.
ok so (2+7) ( 1 ) = 10 9 x 1 = 9 so not true
is that right
i did it for (2,1)
And your conclusion is correct: Not true, so (2,1) is NOT a solution. This leaves you with one more possible solution. What is it? Show your work as you check it in the equation.
(3 + 7) (1) = 10 3 + 7 = 10 x 1 = 10
so that one is true
That fact makes it a "solution" to the equation.
so thats right 3,1)
Where did the '1' come from? Thought you had (x+7)y = 10. You were checking (3,1)? Important: Please do NOT use 'x' to denote multiplication. You could use " * " instead. x is read as a variable in algebra.
So, what is your final answer to this question?
