y = 3x; (5,15) Is (5,15) a solution of the given equation

1 answer

To determine if (5,15) is a solution of the equation y = 3x, we substitute x = 5 and y = 15 into the equation.

3x = y

3(5) = 15

15 = 15

Since the equation is true when x = 5 and y = 15, (5,15) is indeed a solution of the equation.
