Question

Dr. Ellison says that the equation y = 17x + 1 has a solution of (1,18).

Answer 1

The solution of an equation is the true value of the equation.

The true statement is (a) Dr. Ellison is right

The equation is given as:

$\mathbf{y =17x + 1}$

The solution is given as: (1,18)

Substitute 1 for x and 18 for y.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{18 =17 \times 1 + 1}$

Multiply

$\mathbf{18 =17 + 1}$

Add

$\mathbf{18 =18}$

The above equation is true.
