Let x be the new dimension of the area;
Jay's claim is false. They would have $156.8 left which is 56% of their original combined total.
Answer: No, it is not a solution
==========================================================
Explanation:
The point (3,-4) means that x = 3 and y = -4 pair up together
Let's plug these x,y values into each equation
Starting with the first equation, we get,
y = 4x-16
-4 = 4(3)-16 ... x replaced with 3; y replaced with -4
-4 = 12-16
-4 = -4 .... this is a true statement
Repeat for the second equation
y = 2x-6
-4 = 2(3)-6
-4 = 6-6
-4 = 0 ... this is false
Since we get a false statement, this means (3,-4) is not on the line y = 2x-6, which means that overall (3,-4) is not a solution to the system of equations. The point (3,-4) must make both equations true for it to be a solution.
