Question

Decide whether or not the ordered pair is a solution of the equation x + y=13;(6,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

yes (6,7) is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

(6,7) is an ordered pair, see it like (x,y). so

x=6

y=7

substitute the variable with the values.

x+y=13

6+7=13

13=13

this is a true statement.

Answer 2

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if an ordered pair is a solution to an equation.

Substitute the coordinates of the point into the left side and if equal to the right side then the point is a solution, that is

left side = x + y = 6 + 7 = 13 = right side

Hence (6, 7) is a solution to the equation
