Question

How could you check to see if the point (5, 6) is the solution to the Linear System of equations?(1 point)
Responses

A.Substitute 6 in for x and 5 in for y in one of the equations to see if the equation is true.


B.Substitute 6 in for x and 5 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true.


C.Substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in one of the equations to see if the equation is true.


D.Substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true.

Answer 1

To check if the point (5, 6) is a solution to the linear system of equations, you need to substitute the values of x and y into each equation and verify if both equations hold true.

Therefore, the correct choice is:

**B. Substitute 6 in for x and 5 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true.**

However, note that the traditional way to represent the point (5, 6) would be to substitute 5 for x and 6 for y, as x corresponds to the first number and y to the second number in the ordered pair. So it is worth clarifying that you would be checking using:

- Substitute 5 for x and 6 for y in both equations.

But in the context of your options, B is the most comprehensive approach described.
