Question

Is the point (3, 11) a solution for the linear equation 1/3x + y = 12? Explain.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The point is on the line.

The coordinate values satisfy the equation:

  1/3x + y = 12

  1/3(3) + 11 = 12 . . . substitute for x and y

  1 + 11 = 12 . . . . . . . true

Any point that satisfies the equation is a solution. (3, 11) is a solution.
