(x+3)y=14 which ordered pair is a solution to this equation ? A. 7,2 B 11,1 C 3,2 or D 5,2
The answer would be B.
Steps:
1. Take your X coordinate and plug it into your equation where the X is.
2. Take your Y coordinate and plug it into your equation where the Y is.
3. Distribute your Y to your numbers in the parenthesis.
4. Finally add the two numbers together.
5. See if you got the same answer on both sides of the equal sign.
Hope this helps! (:
(x + 3)y = 14
We just test each option.
A. x = 11, y = 1
(x + 3)y = 14
(7 + 3)2
102
20 = 14 This is not correct, so the option is wrong.
B. x = 11, y = 1
(x + 3)y = 14
(11 + 3)1
141
14 = 14 This is correct, so the option is the correct.
So option B is the correct one. No need to test the other options.
I hope this helps.
