Answer:
Yes, (3, -2) is a solution of the system
Explanation:
The point (3, -2) is a solution of the system if it satisfies both equations.
So, we need to replace x by 3 and y by -2 as:
For y = 2x - 8, we get:
-2 = 2(3) - 8
-2 = 6 - 8
-2 = -2
For y = x - 5, we get:
-2 = 3 - 5
-2 = -2
Since both equations are satisfied, we can say that (3, -2) is a solution of the system.
