Question

2) Determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the system of equations. Yes or No
(show your work),

(2, 4)

4x = 4 - y
3x =26 + 5y

Answer 1

No.
An order pair is in the format of (x,y). Therefore, in the order pair (2,4), 2 is the x and 4 is the y. When you plug these numbers into the equations you don’t get equal answers:

4(2) = 4 - (4)
8 ≠ 0

3(2) = 26 + 5(4)
6 ≠ 46
