To figure out if the ordered pairs are a solution to the equations, you would need to plug in the points. Your points are ordered as (x,y)
You would plug in the number that's in the x spot in x, and the number in the y spot in y.
Let's start of with the first problem:
First thing you would do is plug in (-1) to x, and 6 to y.
Your equations would look like this:
6(-1) + 3(6) = 18
2(-1) + 6 = 7
What you would now do is solve the equations. When you solve them, you would get these answers
12 = 18
4 = 7
For #1, it would be no solution because the numbers do not equal each other. (Fun fact) If one of them ends up as a solution, but the other is no solution, the answer would be no solutions because BOTH of them have to be a solution to the equations given in order to be a solution.
If you do the same strategy, (plugging in the numbers to x and y), you would get the rest of the answers for the problems.
I hope this helps, if you need any more assistance, I would be glad to help!
Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210
A unit fraction is a fraction whose numerator is 1.
