Q. Is (1,2) a solution to this system of equations?12x+y=144x+7y=18Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Check First Equation: question_prompt: Is the point (1,2) a solution to the given system of equations?
Verify First Equation: Let's plug x=1 and y=2 into the first equation, 12x+y=14. So we get 12⋅1+2=14.
Check Second Equation: Doing the math, we find 12+2 equals 14, which is correct. So the point (1,2) works for the first equation.
Verify Second Equation: Now, let's substitute x=1 and y=2 into the second equation, 4x+7y=18. We get 4⋅1+7⋅2=18.
Confirm Solution: After calculating, we see that 4+14 equals 18, which is also right. So the point (1,2) works for the second equation too.
Confirm Solution: After calculating, we see that 4+14 equals 18, which is also right. So the point (1,2) works for the second equation too. Since (1,2) satisfies both equations, it's a solution to the system.
