You can put this solution on YOUR website!
just plug in the numbers(3,1) is the order pair where the x value is 3 and the y value is 1
3+3(1)=6----->6=6---> so far so good
4(3)-5(1)=7-->7=7
the ordered pair (3,1) is a solution the given system of equations

(3,1);{x+3y=6
{4x-5y=7
Let's see thru Slope-Intercept Form: y=mx%2Bb
1st eqn: x%2B3y=6
3y=6-x ---> cross%283%29y%2Fcross%283%29=%286-x%29%2F3
y=%286%2F3%29-%281%2F3%29x
y=%28-1%2F3%29x%2B%281%2F2%29 ---> slope=-1%2F3; y-intercept=1/2
f(y)=0:
%281%2F3%29x=1%2F2 ---> cross%281%2F3%29x%2Fcross%281%2F3%29=%281%2F2%29%2F%281%2F3%29
x=3%2F2
Let's see the graph:
--> POINTS ARE NOT (3,1),
Next, 2nd eqn: 4x-5y=7
-5y=-4x%2B7 ---> cross%28-5%29y%2Fcross%28-5%29=%28-4x%2B7%29%2F-5
y=%28-4%2F-5%29x%2B%287%2F-5%29 --> y=%284%2F5%29x-%287%2F5%29 --> slope=4%2F5, y-intercept=-7/5
f(y)=0:
%284%2F5%29x=7%2F5 ---> cross%284%2F5%29x%2Fcross%284%2F5%29=%287%2F5%29%2F%284%2F5%29
x=%287%2F5%29%285%2F4%29=35%2F20=7%2F4
Let's see the graph:
--> POINTS ARE NOT (3,1)
So you see, two line eqn's don't have points(3,1)
The question lies, when substitute to both eqn's points (3,1), does it satisfy the condition. Let's see:
1st eqn: x%2B3y=6--> subst-->system%28x=3%2Cy=1%29
3%2B3%281%29=6, good!
2nd eqn: 4x-5y=7
4%283%29-5%281%29=12-5=7, good!
Conclusion, POINTS (3,1) is a solution to both EQNs.
Thank you,
