2.- x – y = -5 and 3x – 4y = 17
3. x + y = 1 and x – y = 6

Answers

  1. (3, -2) is a solution to the system of equations x – 2y = 7 and 2x + 3y = 0, (3, -2) is not a solution to the system of equations  -x – y = -5 and 3x – 4y = 17 and (3, -2) is not a solution to the system of equations x + y = 1 and x – y = 6

    How to determine the whether or not (3, -2) is a solution to the following systems?

    The systems of equations are given as:
    1. x – 2y = 7 and 2x + 3y = 0
    2. -x – y = -5 and 3x – 4y = 17
    3. x + y = 1 and x – y = 6
    Next, we substitute (3, -2) for (x, y) in the system of equations.
    So, we have:
    1. x – 2y = 7 and 2x + 3y = 0
    3 – 2 * -2 = 7 and 2 * 3 + 3 * -2 = 0
    Evaluate
    7 = 7 and 0 = 0
    The above equation is true
    Hence, (3, -2) is a solution to the system of equations x – 2y = 7 and 2x + 3y = 0
    2.- x – y = -5 and 3x – 4y = 17
    -3 + 2 = -5 and 3 * 3 + 4 * 2 = 17
    Evaluate
    – 1 = – 5 and 1 7 = 1 7
    The above equation is false
    Hence, (3, -2) is not a solution to the system of equations  -x – y = -5 and 3x – 4y = 17
    3. x + y = 1 and x – y = 6
    3 – 2 = 1 and 3 + 2 = 6
    Evaluate
    1 = 1 and 5 = 6
    The above equation is false
    Hence, (3, -2) is not a solution to the system of equations x + y = 1 and x – y = 6
