Answer:
(5,-6) is a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]6x + 3y = 12[/tex]
[tex]4x + y = 14[/tex]
Required
Tell whether (5,-6) is a solution
In (5,-6): x = 5 and y = -6.
Substitute these values in the given equations
[tex]6x + 3y = 12[/tex] becomes
[tex]6 * 5 + 3 * -6 = 12[/tex]
[tex]30-18 = 12[/tex]
[tex]12 = 12[/tex]
[tex]4x + y = 14[/tex] becomes
[tex]4 * 5 - 6 = 14[/tex]
[tex]20 - 6 = 14[/tex]
[tex]14 = 14[/tex]
Because both solutions are true, then (5,-6) is a solution
