Is the point (2,1) a solution to the following system? 3x-2y=6. x+y=2

Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
I believe this is the explanation to the answer.
First of all, we must understand what is meant by a "solution" to a "system." A solution to a system means whatever solutions you get for x and y should be able to satisfy both of the equations in the system.
In here, we have the point (2,1). To test whether it satisfies the two equations in the system, simply plug in the values!
3(2) - 2(1) = 6 - 2 = 4
As you can see, 4 6. Let's look at the other equation.
(2) + (1) = 3
Again, as you can see, 3 2.
Hence, this point (2,1) does not satisfy the two equations, so it's definitely not a solution.

This figure has four points labeled, 2 rays which you can see labeled and one right angle. The rays are named Ray BA, and Ray BD, The right angle is angle ABD, or angle ABC. A ray has one and point and goes on forever in the other direction which is indicated with an arrow. A right angle measures 90°. You can potentially put any number of points on a line. Angles can also be named by the vertex.
