Problema Solution
The point (17, 0) lies on the line 8x + 11y = 136.
Determine if this point is a solution of the system
8x + 11y = 136
0x – y = -8
Answer provided by our tutors
The point (17, 0) lies on the line 8x + 11y = 136.
8x + 11y = 136
8(17) + 11(0) = 136
136 + 0 = 136
136 = 136 (yes)
0x - y = -8
0(17) - 0 = -8
0 - 0 = -8
0 = -8 (no)
(17,0) is not a solution because both aren't satisfied. :)
