Q. −3x−4y=4−5x+y=2Is (2,10) a solution of the system?Choose 1 answer:(A) Yes(B) No
Substitution in First Equation: To determine if the point (2,10) is a solution to the system of equations, we need to substitute x with 2 and y with 10 in both equations and check if the left-hand side equals the right-hand side.
Check First Equation Result: First, let's substitute into the first equation: −3x−4y=4. Substituting x=2 and y=10, we get −3(2)−4(10)=−6−40=−46. Now we check if this equals 4.
Conclusion: Since −46 does not equal 4, we can already conclude that (2,10) is not a solution to the first equation, and therefore, it cannot be a solution to the system of equations.
