Question

Which statements are true the ordered pair (1, 2) and the system of equations?

Answer 1

This is just a matter of subbing (1,2) into ur equations to see if they make the equations true

(1,2)...x = 1 and y = 2

y = -2x + 4                          7x - 2y = 3
2 = -2(1) + 4                       7(1) - 2(2) = 3
2 = -2 + 4                            7 - 4 = 3
2 = 2 (correct)                     3 = 3 (correct)

when (1,2) is subbed into the first equation, the equation is true
when (1,2) is subbed into the 2nd equation, the equation is true
the ordered pair (1,2) is a solution to the system of equations...and it is a solution to the system because it satisfies both equations...if it would have only satisfied one of them, it would not be a solution to the system of equations
