Q. Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?y+1=3(x−4)Choose 1 answer:(A) Only (4,−1)(B) Only (5,2)(C) Both (4,−1) and (5,2)(D) Neither
Equation Understanding: Understand the equation in question.The equation given is y+1=3(x−4). This is a linear equation in two variables, x and y.
Validity Check for Option (A): Substitute the x and y values from option (A) into the equation to check for validity.For the ordered pair (4,−1), substitute x=4 and y=−1 into the equation and see if the equation holds true.y+1=3(x−4)−1+1=3(4−4)0=3(0)0=0
Validity Check for Option (B): Since the equation holds true for the ordered pair (4,−1), option (A) is a valid solution.
Final Answer Determination: Substitute the x and y values from option (B) into the equation to check for validity.For the ordered pair (5,2), substitute x=5 and y=2 into the equation and see if the equation holds true.y+1=3(x−4)2+1=3(5−4)3=3(1)3=3
Final Answer Determination: Substitute the x and y values from option (B) into the equation to check for validity.For the ordered pair (5,2), substitute x=5 and y=2 into the equation and see if the equation holds true.y+1=3(x−4)2+1=3(5−4)3=3(1)3=3Since the equation holds true for the ordered pair (5,2), option (B) is also a valid solution.
Final Answer Determination: Substitute the x and y values from option (B) into the equation to check for validity.For the ordered pair (5,2), substitute x=5 and y=2 into the equation and see if the equation holds true.y+1=3(x−4)2+1=3(5−4)3=3(1)3=3Since the equation holds true for the ordered pair (5,2), option (B) is also a valid solution.Determine the final answer based on the validity of options (A) and (B).Since both ordered pairs y0 and (5,2) satisfy the equation, the correct answer is (C) Both y0 and (5,2).
