Question

Which statements are true about the ordered pair (−4, 0) and the system of equations?

Answer 1

The true statements are:

The ordered pair (−4 , 0) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true ⇒ 1st answer

The ordered pair (−4 , 0) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true ⇒ 2nd answer

The ordered pair (−4, 0) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true ⇒ 4th answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that point (a , b) is a solution of an equation

• Substitute x and y in the equation by a and b
• If the left hand side is equal to the right hand side, then the point is a solution of the equation
• If the left hand side doesn't equal the right hand side, the point is not a solution of the equation

∵ The system of equations is:

2x + y = -8 ⇒ (1)

x - y = -4 ⇒ (2)

The ordered pair is (-4 , 0)

Substitute x by -4 and y by 0 in each equation

∵ x = -4 and y = 0

∵ The left hand side in equation (1) is 2x + y

∵ 2(-4) + 0 = -8 + 0 = -8

∴ The left hand side = -8

∵ The right hand side = -8

∴ The left hand side = the right hand side

∴ (-4 , 0) is a solution of equation (1)

The ordered pair (−4 , 0) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true

∵ The left hand side in equation (2) is x - y

∵ (-4) - 0 = -4 - 0 = -4

∴ The left hand side = -4

∵ The right hand side = -4

∴ The left hand side = the right hand side

∴ (-4 , 0) is a solution of equation (2)

The ordered pair (−4 , 0) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true

∵ The ordered pair (-4 , 0) makes the two equations true

∴ The ordered pair (-4 , 0) is the solution of the system of equations

The ordered pair (−4, 0) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true
