Question

Choose the pair of numbers that is not a solution to the given equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The pair (0,3) is not a solution to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be proved by simply replacing the x and y variables in the equation by the x and y values of the pair, and checking if the equation renders a true statement:

By replacing x and y with their values in the pair (0,3), that is x=0 and y=3, in the equation y = 5 - 2x  we get:

3 = 5 - 2 (0)

3 = 5 - 0

3 = 5

which is NOT a true statement.

On the other hand, the other two pairs (2,1) and (1,3) render true statements:

1 = 5 - 2 (2)

1 = 5 - 4

1 = 1

and

3 = 5 - 2 (1)

3 = 5 - 2

3 = 3
