Which statements are true about the ordered pair (−3, 1) and the system of equations? {x−4y=63x+y=−8 (More than 1 right answer WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST HELP ASAP!!)
A.The ordered pair (−3, 1) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true.
B.The ordered pair (−3, 1) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true.
C.The ordered pair (−3, 1) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.
D. The ordered pair (−3, 1) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true

Respuesta :

Answer: c.The ordered pair (-3,1) is not a solution to the system because it makes atleast one of the equations false.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the points (-3, 1) to be a solution to the system of equations then it must satisfy the two equations.

so we are going to check whether it satifies the two equations:

x=-3 and y= 1

x- 4y = 6

-3 - 4(1) =6

-3-4 =6

-7 is not equal to 6

3x + y = -8

3(-3) + 1 = -8

-9+1 = -8

-8 = -8

Though the points(-3,1) satisfy

3x + y = -8 but since it does not satisfy x - 4y = 6, then its not a solution to the system of the equations.

Answer:

I just took the quiz. The first person that answered was correct but there is also another answer for that question

"The ordered pair (−3, 1) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false." Is correct but also "The ordered pair (−3, 1) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true."
