Question

Is (4,10) a solution to this system of equations? y=2x+2 y=10x+1

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out if (4,10) is a solution to the system, we plug in the values of x and y into each equation.

1:

• $10=2(4)+2$
• $10=8+2$
• $10=10$  

2:

• $10=10(4)+1$
• $10=40+1$
• $10\neq 41$

As you can see, (4,10) only satisfies ONE equation, not both. Therefore, the answer is no, it's not a solution.
