Q. which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? −3x+5y=2x+3yChoose 1 answer:(A) Only (2,4)(B) Only (3,3)(C) Both (2,4) and (3,3)(D) Neither
Combine like terms: Simplify the equation by combining like terms.We want to get all the x terms on one side and all the y terms on the other side.−3x+5y=2x+3yAdd 3x to both sides to move the x terms to one side:−3x+3x+5y=2x+3x+3yThis simplifies to:5y=5x+3y
Move x terms: Subtract 3y from both sides to isolate the y terms.5y−3y=5x+3y−3yThis simplifies to:2y=5x
Isolate y terms: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for y in terms of x.22y=25xThis simplifies to:y=(25)x
Solve for y: Test the ordered pairs to see which one(s) satisfy the equation y=25x. For (A) (2,4), substitute x=2 and y=4 into the equation: 4=25(2)4=5 This is not true, so (2,4) is not a solution.
Test 2,4: Test the ordered pair B3,3.Substitute x=3 and y=3 into the equation:3=(25)(3)3=215This is not true, so 3,3 is not a solution.
Test 3,3: Since neither (A) 2,4 nor (B) 3,3 satisfy the equation y=25x, the correct answer is (D) Neither.
