Q. Is (3,9) a solution to this system of equations?y=5x+9y=x+6Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute and Check: First, we will substitute the point (3,9) into the first equation and check if it holds true. The first equation is y=5x+9. If we substitute x=3 and y=9, we get 9=5×3+9.
Verify First Equation: After performing the calculation, we find that 9=15+9, which is not true because 9 does not equal 24. Therefore, the point (3,9) does not satisfy the first equation.
Conclusion: Since the point (3,9) does not satisfy the first equation, there is no need to check the second equation. We can conclude that (3,9) is not a solution to the system of equations.
