Question

Question 4 (1 point) Determine whether the ordered pair (3,28) is a solution to the equation 2x- y/2 = -8 (3, 28) Is a solution (3, 28) is not a solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$2x - \frac{y}{2} = -8$

Required

Determine if $(3,28)$ is a solution

$(3,28)$ implies that:

$x = 3$

$y = 28$

To check if it is a solution, we simply substitute values for x and y in the given equation;

$2x - \frac{y}{2} = -8$

$2(3) - \frac{28}{2} = -8$

$6 - 14= -8$

$-8= -8$

Since both sides of the equation are equal; then, Yes, it is a solution
