Is (–10, 4) a solution to this system of equations? y = x − 3 y = 7
plug in the x and the y into the problem
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @papya plug in the x and the y into the problem \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Yes, so it'd look something like 4 = -10-3 and 4=7 and if those are true then its a solution. If its not then its not a solution.
So would it be yes or no
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @karlieeeeeee So would it be yes or no \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) We can't give direct answers, but think about it. Does 4=7?
no
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @karlieeeeeee no \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Then like you said, it'd be no. In later problems try using the same thing I did. Replace x and y with the x coordinate and the y coordinate and see if they equal each other :)
