Question

Is `(2, 3)` a solution to `2x+y=8`?

Answer 1

Nop

Explanation:

Plug in `(2,3)` into the equation `2x + y = 8`

`2( 2 ) + ( 3 ) = 8`

Simplify

`4 + 3 =8`
`7 != 8`

So the ordered pair `(2,3)` is not a solution to `2x + y = 8`

Answer 2

No, `(2,3)` is not a solution of `2x+y=8`.

Explanation:

To check whether `(2,3)` is a solution or not, we simply substitute the values in our equation `2x + y = 8`
`2*2+3=8`
`7=8`
which is false, so `(2,3)` is not a solution to `2x+y=8`.
