Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to check if the point (1,3) is a solution to the linear equation
.
Let us check it by expressing y in terms of x.
The given expression is 5x-9y=32. If we add -5x to both sides we will get:

Multiplying both sides by -1 we will get:

In order to isolate y, we will divide both sides by 9 to get:

Now let us plug in the given value of x=1 from the point (1,3). This should give us y=3. Let us see if we get y=3 when we plug x=1 in the above equation.


Thus, we see that when x=1, y=-3 and that
and hence we conclude that the point (1,3) is not a solution to the original given linear equation 5x-9y=32.
For a better understanding of the explanation given here a graph has been attached. As can be seen from the graph, (1,3) does not lie on the straight line that represents 5x-9y=32, but (1,-3) does lie on it as we had just found out.
What? I don't understand.
3/5 + 7/10 = 6/10 + 7/10 = 13/10 = 1 and 3/10 lbs. needed
She has 4/5 *3/1 bags = 12/5 = 2 and 2/5 pounds
2 2/5 - 1 3/10 = 2 4/10 - 1 3/10 = 1 and 1/10 pounds left over
