Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y = 7 x − 3 y=7x−3

Answer 1

Answer:

(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y = 7 x − 3

a. (1,4) b. (-1,-4) c. both d. neither

Solution

y=7x-3

Solve by trying each ordered pair

a. (1,4)

x=1, y=4

Substituting the value of x and y into the equation

y=7x-3

4=7(1)-3

4=7-3

4=4

This is a true statement

b. (-1,-4)

x=-1, y=-4

Substitute the value into the equation

y=7x-3

-4=7(-1)-3

-4= -7-3

-4= -11

This is not a true statement

This true statement is when x=1 and y=4

So, the ordered pair (1, 4) is the solution
