Betty correctly determined that the ordered pair (–3, 5) is a solution to the system of linear equations mc004-1.jpg and x + 4y
= 17. Based on this information, which statement is correct? (–3, 5) satisfies neither the equation 6x + 5y = 7 nor the equation x + 4y = 17. (–3, 5) satisfies the equation 6x + 5y = 7 but not the equation x + 4y = 17. (–3, 5) satisfies the equation x + 4y = 17 but not the equation 6x + 5y = 7. (–3, 5) satisfies both the equation 6x + 5y = 7 and the equation x + 4y = 17
She correctly found the solution to be (-3, 5). Since (-3, 5) is a solution of the system of equations, then (-3, 5) must satisfy both equations. Answer is choice D.
