Question

The ordered pair (1, -2) is a solution to the system of linear equations.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 0

Try (1, -2)

2(1) + (-2) = 0

2 + (-2) = 0

0 = 0

The solution works on the first equation.

-x + 2y = 5

-(1) + 2(-2) = 5

-1 - 4 = 5

-5 = 5

The solution does not work in the second equation.

Answer: False
