decide whether the ordered pair (2,6) is a solution of the equation.

y=3x

1 answer

To check whether the ordered pair (2,6) is a solution of the equation y=3x, substitute the x-value (2) into the equation and see if the resulting y-value matches the given y-value (6).

When x = 2:
y = 3(2)
y = 6

Since the calculated y-value (6) matches the given y-value (6), the ordered pair (2,6) is indeed a solution of the equation y=3x.
