QUESTION:
Determine whether (6,7) is a solution of 2x + 5y= -4.
SOLUTION ==================
If (x,y)=(6,7) is a solution to the equation 2x+5y=-4, then when you substitute the values for x and y into the equation, it should be satisfied.
so you must show that LHS = RHS (left hand side = right hand side)
LHS = 2x+5y
= 2(6) + 5(7)
= 12 +35
= 47
but RHS = -4
so LHS is not equal to RHS and so the equation is NOT satisfied.
answer: NO.
