Q. Is (1,2) a solution to this system of equations?3x+8y=19x+4y=9Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check First Equation: We need to check if the point (1,2) satisfies the first equation:3x+8y=19Substitute x=1 and y=2 into the equation:3(1)+8(2)=193+16=1919=19The point (1,2) satisfies the first equation.
Check Second Equation: Now, we need to check if the point (1,2) satisfies the second equation:x+4y=9Substitute x=1 and y=2 into the equation:1+4(2)=91+8=99=9The point (1,2) satisfies the second equation.
Conclude Solution: Since the point (1,2) satisfies both equations in the system, we can conclude that (1,2) is indeed a solution to the system of equations.
