Q. Is (4,9) a solution to this system of equations?y=8x+5y=x+5Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute and Check: First, we will substitute the point (4,9) into the first equation and check if it holds true. The first equation is y=8x+5. If we substitute x=4 and y=9, we get 9=8×4+5.
Calculation Result: After performing the calculation, we find that 9=32+5, which simplifies to 9=37. This is not true. Therefore, the point (4,9) does not satisfy the first equation.
Conclusion: Since the point (4,9) does not satisfy the first equation, there is no need to check the second equation. The point (4,9) cannot be a solution to the system of equations if it does not satisfy both equations.
