Question 722929: Is (8, -1) a solution of the system, 2x + 3y = 13 and x - y = 9?
Found 2 solutions by jim_thompson5910, DrBeeee:
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x + 3y = 13
2(8) + 3(-1) = 13 ... plug in (8,1)
16 - 3 = 13
13 = 13
so (8,1) satisfies the first equation
-------------------------------------------------------
x - y = 9
8 - (-1) = 9 ... plug in (8,1)
8 + 1 = 9
9 = 9
and (8,1) satisfies the second equation
--------------------------------------------------------------
(8,1) satisfies BOTH equations at the same time, so it is the solution to the system of equations
Answer by DrBeeee(684) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Put (x,y) = (8,-1) into the two equations and check.
Is (2*8+3*(-1) = 13)?
Is (16 - 3 = 13)?
Is (13 = 13)? Yes
Is (8 -(-1) = 9)?
Is (9 = 9)? Yes
Answer: Yes, (8,-1) is the solution (and only solution) to the given system of equations.
