Example:
Choose the ordered pair that is the solution for the equation:x + 7y = 17
(2,5)
(3,2)
(5,3)
(1,3)
Solution: Substituting each value in the equation we get
- Substituting (2,5) in the equation x + 7y = 17 we get
2 + 7(5) is not equal to 17
Therefore (2,5) is not the solution.
- Substituting (3,2) in the equation x + 7y = 17 we get
3 + 7(2) is equal to 17
Therefore (3,2) is the solution.
- Substituting (5,3) in the equation x + 7y = 17 we get
5 + 7(3) is not equal to 17
Therefore (5,3) is not the solution.
- Substituting (1,3) in the equation x + 7y = 17 we get
1 + 7(3) is not equal to 17
Therefore (2,5) is not the solution.
Answer: (3,2)
Directions: Choose which of the given ordered pair is a solution. Also write at least ten examples of your own.
