Q. Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?3x+3y=−x+5yChoose 1 answer:(A) Only (1,2)(B) Only (2,4)(C) Both (1,2) and (2,4)(D) Neither
Combine like terms: Simplify the equation by combining like terms.We start by adding x to both sides and subtracting 5y from both sides to get all the x terms on one side and all the y terms on the other side.3x+3y+x−5y=−x+5y+x−5yThis simplifies to:4x−2y=0
Solve for y: Solve for y in terms of x.To find y in terms of x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2").\(\newline\$4x - 2y = 0\)\(\newline\)\(-2y = -4x\)\(\newline\)\(y = \frac{-4x}{-2}\)\(\newline\)\(y = 2x\)
Test ordered pair \(1, 2\): Test the ordered pairs to see if they satisfy the equation \(y = 2x\).\(\newline\)First, we test the ordered pair \(1, 2\).\(\newline\)If we substitute \(x = 1\) into the equation \(y = 2x\), we get:\(\newline\)y = \(2\)(\(1\))\(\newline\)y = \(2\)\(\newline\)Since the y-value of the ordered pair \(1, 2\) is \(2\), this ordered pair satisfies the equation.
Test ordered pair \( (2, 4) \): Test the second ordered pair \( (2, 4) \).\(\newline\)If we substitute \( x = 2 \) into the equation \( y = 2x \), we get:\(\newline\)\( y = 2(2) \)\(\newline\)\( y = 4 \)\(\newline\)Since the y-value of the ordered pair \( (2, 4) \) is \( 4 \), this ordered pair also satisfies the equation.
