4x+3y=8 (6,-8) is this the solution
If x = 6, 24 + 3y = 8
which means y = -16/3
There are an infinite number of (x,y) points that are solutions, but (6,-8) is not one of them
You just plug it in. Does 4(6)+3(-8)=8?
To determine if (6, -8) is a solution to the equation 4x + 3y = 8, we can substitute the values of x and y into the equation and check if it is satisfied.
Substituting x = 6 and y = -8 into the equation:
4(6) + 3(-8) = 8
24 - 24 = 8
0 = 8
The equation does not hold true when the values are substituted, so (6, -8) is not a solution to the equation 4x + 3y = 8.
To determine if (6,-8) is a solution to the equation 4x + 3y = 8, we can substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if it holds true.
Let's substitute x = 6 and y = -8 into the equation:
4(6) + 3(-8) = 8
24 - 24 = 8
0 = 8
Since 0 is not equal to 8, we can conclude that (6,-8) is NOT a solution to the equation 4x + 3y = 8.
If you want to check if a given point is a solution to an equation, you can substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if both sides are equal.
