Question 419771: Is (6,5) a solution o the equation y=2x? (give a yes or no)
explain why yes or no please !!!!
Answer by duckness73(47)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The notation (6,5) is shorthand for x = 6, y = 5. If (6,5) is a solution to the equation y = 2x, then substituting 6 for x and 5 for y should give a true result. Let's see ...
y = 2x
5 = 2 * 6
5 = 12 This clearly is a false statement, so (6,5) is NOT a solution for the equation y = 2x.
