Question

Is 2.0 a solution to the equation? X-2y=0 , 2x-3y=1

Answer 1

No, because (2,0) is a coordinate. x=2 and y=0. So just plug in the numbers where there's x or y with the appropriate number, (2 or 0). So in the first equation, x-2y=0, when you pug in the numbers, 2-2(0)=0, you know it's wrong because 2-0=0 isn't correct. So no. the point (2,0) is not a solution to the first equation. Now plug in the numbers for the second coordinate. You get 2(2)-3(0)=1. So 4-0=1. This is once again false no no. (2,0) satisfies neither equations.
