Is (2, 2) a solution to the equation y = 2x? Choices: (A)yes (B)no

Understand Solution Criteria: Understand what it means for a point to be a solution to an equation. A point is a solution to an equation if, when the x and y values of the point are substituted into the equation, the equation is true.Substitute Values into Equation: Substitute the x and y values of the point (2, 2) into the equation y = 2x. Substitute x = 2 and y = 2 into the equation to see if it holds true. 2 = 2 * 2Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication on the right side of the equation. 2 * 2 = 4Compare Result with Y-value: Compare the result of the multiplication with the y-value of the point. Since 2 does not equal 4, the point (2, 2) does not satisfy the equation y = 2x.Conclude Solution Status: Conclude whether the point (2, 2) is a solution to the equation. Since the equation does not hold true when we substitute (2, 2) into it, the point (2, 2) is not a solution to the equation y = 2x.

Understand Solution Criteria: Understand what it means for a point to be a solution to an equation. $\newline$ A point is a solution to an equation if, when the $x$ and $y$ values of the point are substituted into the equation, the equation is true.
Substitute Values into Equation: Substitute the $x$ and $y$ values of the point $(2, 2)$ into the equation $y = 2x$ . $\newline$ Substitute $x = 2$ and $y = 2$ into the equation to see if it holds true. $\newline$ $2 = 2 \times 2$
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication on the right side of the equation. $2 \times 2 = 4$
Compare Result with Y-value: Compare the result of the multiplication with the y-value of the point. Since $2$ does not equal $4$ , the point $(2, 2)$ does not satisfy the equation $y = 2x$ .
Conclude Solution Status: Conclude whether the point $(2, 2)$ is a solution to the equation. $\newline$ Since the equation does not hold true when we substitute $(2, 2)$ into it, the point $(2, 2)$ is not a solution to the equation $y = 2x$ .
