7, 9


0, 3


−5, 4


−−2, 6

Answer 1

The only ordered pair that is a solution to the given system of equations is (-2, -6)

System of Linear Equations

From the question, we are to determine if each ordered pair is a solution to the given system of equations

The given system of equations is

-9x + 2y = 6

5x - 3y = 8

• For (7, 9)

That is,

x = 7, y = 9

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(7) + 2(9) = 6

-63 + 18 = 6

-45 ≠ 6

Thus, (7,9) is not a solution

• For (0, 3)

That is,

x = 0, y = 3

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(0) + 2(3) = 6

0 + 6 = 6

6 = 6

The ordered pair satisfies the first equation

Testing for the second equation

Is 5(0) - 3(3) = 8

0 - 9 = 8

-9 ≠ 8

Thus, (0, 3) is not a solution

• For (5, -4)

That is,

x = 5, y = -4

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(5) + 2(-4) = 6

-45 - 8 = 6

-53 ≠ 6

Thus, (-5,4) is not a solution

• For  (-2, -6)

That is,

x = -2, y = -6

Putting the values into the first equation

Is -9(-2) + 2(-6) = 6

18 - 12 = 6

6 = 6

The ordered pair satisfies the first equation

Testing for the second equation

Is 5(-2) -3(-6) = 8

-10 + 18 = 8

8 = 8

The ordered pair satisfies the second equation

∴ The ordered pair that is a solution to the system of equations is (-2, -6)

Hence, the only ordered pair that is a solution to the given system of equations is (-2, -6)
