Q. Is (3,1) a solution to this system of equations?2x+y=72x+4y=10Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check First Equation: We need to check if the point (3,1) satisfies the first equation:2x+y=7Substitute x=3 and y=1 into the equation:2(3)+1=76+1=77=7The point (3,1) satisfies the first equation.
Check Second Equation: Now, we need to check if the point (3,1) satisfies the second equation:2x+4y=10Substitute x=3 and y=1 into the equation:2(3)+4(1)=106+4=1010=10The point (3,1) satisfies the second equation.
Confirm Solution: Since the point (3,1) satisfies both equations in the system, we can conclude that (3,1) is indeed a solution to the system of equations.
