Tell whether the equation has the ordered pair as a solution. y = 3x; (9,7)
To check whether the equation y = 3x has the ordered pair (9,7) as a solution, we substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair into the equation and see if both sides of the equation are equal.
For the ordered pair (9,7), the value of x is 9 and the value of y is 7. Plugging these values into the equation, we get:
7 = 3(9)
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we have:
7 = 27
Since 7 does not equal 27, the equation is not true when x = 9 and y = 7. Therefore, the ordered pair (9,7) is not a solution to the equation y = 3x.
To determine whether the equation y = 3x has the ordered pair (9,7) as a solution, we substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if it holds true.
For the given ordered pair (9,7), the x-value is 9 and the y-value is 7.
Replacing the variables in the equation, we have:
7 = 3 * 9
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
7 = 27
However, 7 does not equal 27.
Since the equation does not hold true when we substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair (9,7), we can conclude that (9,7) is not a solution to the equation y = 3x.
