Q. Is (2,1) a solution to this system of equations?5x+7y=173x+y=7Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check First Equation: We need to check if the point (2,1) satisfies the first equation:5x+7y=17Substitute x=2 and y=1 into the equation:5(2)+7(1)=1710+7=1717=17The point (2,1) satisfies the first equation.
Check Second Equation: Now, we need to check if the point (2,1) satisfies the second equation:3x+y=7Substitute x=2 and y=1 into the equation:3(2)+1=76+1=77=7The point (2,1) satisfies the second equation.
Confirm Solution: Since the point (2,1) satisfies both equations in the system, we can conclude that (2,1) is indeed a solution to the system of equations.
