Is (5,2) a solution for this linear system?

2x-3y=4
2x+8y=11

15 comments:

  1. 2(5)-3(2)=4
    10-6=4 true

    2(5)+8(2)=11
    10+16=11 not true, because (5,2) isn't a solution for the 2nd equation its not a solution for the linear system

  2. (5,2) is not a solution for the linear system:
    2x-3y=4
    2x-8y=11
    When you substitute 5, and 2 for x and y, only 1 of the equation is correct like dionjare said. 2(5)-3(2)=4 True 2(5)+8(2)=26 False

  3. 2(5)-3(2)=4 is true but
    2(5)+8(2)=11, and that is not true. The second equation equals 26. Therefore, not a solution.

  4. Very Good guys:

    New Question:
    Name three different methods that you can use to solve Linear Equations

  5. The first one is true 2(5)-3(2)=4 because 2(5) equals 10 and 3(2) equals 6 and 10-6=4, but the second one isn't 2(5)+8(2)=16 not eleven because 2(5) is 10 and 8(2) is 16 and 10+16=26.

  6. There are several good ways to solve systems of linear equations. And the best method to use in any given situation is the one that requires the least amount of work. However, that will depend on the particular equations that you’re trying to solve. The most popular methods are inspection, elimination, substitution, intersection,

  8. The three methods you could use would be elimination,substitution, and graphing or intersecting lines, That is what you could use.

  9. Graph it- change to y=mx+b
    To fill in- substitute the numbers in for X&Y
    Eliminate- Eliminate.

  10. The three methods to solve a linear equation is elimination substitution and graphing which means to turn it into y=mx+b form

  11. I agree. The method I like to use the most is elimination. Another one is graphing.
    turning something like -4x+2y= 14 into 2y=4x+14..... to y=2x+7 which, as David and Andrew said, is y=mx+b form. The last one is substitution.
