Check to see if the given coordinate is a solution to the system of equations. (3,1)

2x - 6y = 0

3x - 4y = 5

No, it is not a solution.

Yes, it is a solution.

1 answer

To determine if the coordinate (3, 1) is a solution to the system of equations, we will substitute \(x = 3\) and \(y = 1\) into both equations and see if they hold true.

  1. For the first equation, \(2x - 6y = 0\):

\[ 2(3) - 6(1) = 6 - 6 = 0 \]

This is true.

  1. For the second equation, \(3x - 4y = 5\):

\[ 3(3) - 4(1) = 9 - 4 = 5 \]

This is also true.

Since both equations are satisfied by the point (3, 1), the answer is:

Yes, it is a solution.
