Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation ? y + 1 = 3(x - 4) Choose 1 answer: Only * (4, - 1) ) Only (5, 2) Both (4, - 1) ) and (5, 2) ) Neither

Answer 1

Replacing the ordered pairs into the equation, we find that the correct option is:

• Both (4, - 1) and (5, 2)

The equation is:

$y + 1 = 3(x - 4)$

Ordered pair:

An ordered pair (x,y) is a solution to the equation if we replace (x,y) in the equation and get an identity.

Test if (4,-1) is a solution:

$-1 + 1 = 3(4 - 4)$

$0 = 0$

Identity, so it is.

Test if (5,2) is a solution:

$2 + 1 = 3(5 - 4)$

$3 = 3$

Identity, so it is.

Hence, both is the correct option.
