How could you check to see if the point (5,6) is the solution to the linear system of equations?
A. substitute 6 in for x and 5 in for y in both equations to see if both equations are true
B. substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in one of the equations to see if the equation is true
C. substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true
D. substitute 6 in for x and 5 in for y in one of the equations to see if the equation is true
A. substitute 6 in for x and 5 in for y in both equations to see if both equations are true.
C. substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true
To check if the point (5,6) is a solution to the linear system of equations, you need to substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in both equations and check if both equations are true.
So the correct answer is:
C. substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true
