Tell whether the other pair (8,2) is a solution of the system of linear equations. x - y = 6
2x - 10y = 4
The ordered pair a solution.
Answers
Is
Is not

By direct evaluation, we will see that the pair (8,2) is not a solution of the system of equations.

A given point is a solution of a system of equations if and only if it is a solution for both equations, then to see if (8, 2) is a solution of the given system, we need to replace the values in both equations and see if it is a solution of each one.

For the first one we have:

x - y = 6

8 - 2 = 6

6 = 6

So (8, 2) is a solution of the first equation.

For the second one we have:

2x - 10y = 4

2*8 - 10*2 = 4

16 - 20 = 4

-4 = 4

Note that this equation is false, then the point (8, 2) is not a solution for the second equation, then the point is not a solution for the system of equations.
