Is (-3,2) a solution of 3x - 2y = 12 yes or no?
Is it no?
Well, let's see now ...
is 3(-3) - 2(2) = 12 ???
So, what do you think?
no
correct!
To determine if (-3,2) is a solution of 3x - 2y = 12, we need to substitute the values of x and y from the given point into the equation and see if it satisfies the equation.
Let's substitute x = -3 and y = 2 into the equation:
3(-3) - 2(2) = 12
-9 - 4 = 12
-13 = 12
Since -13 is not equal to 12, we conclude that (-3,2) is not a solution to 3x - 2y = 12. Therefore, the answer is no.
