Question

Determine if the ordered pair(6,-8) is a solutionof 3x-y=26

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution

Explanation:

Given the equation:

$3x-y=26$

To determine if the ordered pair(6,-8) is a solution, substitute:

$\begin{gathered} x=6 \\ y=-8 \\ \implies LHS\colon3(6)-(-8) \\ =18+8 \\ =26(\text{RHS)} \end{gathered}$

Since the point satisfies the equation, it is a solution to the given equation.
