Q. Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?2x+4y=6x−yChoose 1 answer:(A) Only (4,5)(B) Only (5,4)(C) Both (4,5) and (5,4)(D) Neither
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation to find the relationship between x and y.We start by moving all terms involving x to one side and all terms involving y to the other side of the equation.2x+4y=6x−ySubtract 2x from both sides:4y=4x−yAdd y to both sides:4y+y=4xCombine like terms:5y=4xNow, divide both sides by 5 to solve for y:y=54x
Move terms involving x and y: Test the ordered pair (4,5) to see if it satisfies the equation y=(54)x.Substitute x=4 and y=5 into the equation:5=(54)(4)Calculate the right side:5=(516)Check if the left side equals the right side:5=(516)The ordered pair (4,5) does not satisfy the equation.
Subtract 2x from both sides: Test the ordered pair (5,4) to see if it satisfies the equation y=(54)x.Substitute x=5 and y=4 into the equation:4=(54)(5)Calculate the right side:4=(520)Simplify the fraction:4=4Check if the left side equals the right side:4=4The ordered pair (5,4) satisfies the equation.
