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

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

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

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

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

1 answer

To check if the point (5, 6) is a solution to the Linear System of equations, you would need to verify if this point satisfies both equations in the system.

The correct approach is:

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

This way, you will confirm whether the point (5, 6) is indeed a solution to both equations, meaning it lies at the intersection of the lines represented by the equations. If both equations hold true with these substitutions, then (5, 6) is a solution to the system.
