Q. Is (3,6) a solution to this system of equations?y=2x+1y=4x+6Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute and Check: First, we will substitute the point (3,6) into the first equation and check if it holds true. The first equation is y=2x+1. If we substitute x=3 and y=6, we get 6=2×3+1.
Verify First Equation: After performing the calculation, we find that 6=6+1, which simplifies to 6=7. This is not true. Therefore, the point (3,6) does not satisfy the first equation.
No Solution: Since the point (3,6) does not satisfy the first equation, there is no need to check the second equation. The point (3,6) cannot be a solution to the system of equations if it does not satisfy both equations.
