Algebra.Com's Answer #53495 by funmath(2933)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Which of the ordered pairs is a solution for the equation 2x – 3y = 6? \n" ); document.write( "A) (x,y)=(0, 2) \n" ); document.write( "Substitute 0 in for x and 2 in for y, simplify and see if both sides of the equation equal. If they do, it is a solution. If not, it's not. \n" ); document.write( "2(0)-3(2)=6 \n" ); document.write( "0-6=6 \n" ); document.write( "-6=6 Not true, so (0,2) is not a solution. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "B) (–3, 0) \n" ); document.write( "2(-3)-3(0)=6 \n" ); document.write( "-6-0=6 \n" ); document.write( "-6=6 Not true, so (-3,0) is not a solution. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "C) (–3, –2) \n" ); document.write( "2(-3)-3(-2)=6 \n" ); document.write( "-6+6=6 \n" ); document.write( "0=6 Not true, so (-3,-2) is not a solution. \n" ); document.write( ":\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D) (0, –2) \n" ); document.write( "2(0)-3(-2)=6 \n" ); document.write( "0+6=6 \n" ); document.write( "6=6 True, so (0,-2) is a solution. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "There are an infinite number of solutions, so you have to check each set of coordinates. \n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!! \n" ); document.write( " |
