Question

In this equation, is (1, 5) a solution? *

Answer 1

Answer:

No (1,5) is not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

if you try to solve this equation with the (1,5), you lay it out like 5 = 1/4 * 1 - 7. It turns into  5 = 1/4 - 7, because 1 times anything is that same number. Then you have to add 7 to both sides so that it cancels out on the right and you get 12 on the left. So you end up with the equation 12 = 1/4. This equation is not true, so therefore (1,5) is not a solution. Hope this helps :)
