Q. Is (1,7) a solution to this system of equations?y=5x+5y=6x+1Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute and Check: First, we will substitute the point (1,7) into the first equation and check if it holds true. The first equation is y=5x+5. If we substitute x=1 and y=7, we get 7=5×1+5.
Calculation Result: After performing the calculation, we find that 7=5+5, which is not true because 5+5 equals 10, not 7. Therefore, the point (1,7) does not satisfy the first equation.
Conclusion: Since the point (1,7) does not satisfy the first equation, there is no need to check the second equation. We can conclude that (1,7) is not a solution to the system of equations.
