Nop

Explanation:

Plug in (2,3)(2,3) into the equation 2x + y = 82x+y=8

2( 2 ) + ( 3 ) = 82(2)+(3)=8

Simplify

4 + 3 =84+3=8
7 != 878

So the ordered pair (2,3)(2,3) is not a solution to 2x + y = 82x+y=8

No, (2,3)(2,3) is not a solution of 2x+y=82x+y=8.

Explanation:

To check whether (2,3)(2,3) is a solution or not, we simply substitute the values in our equation 2x + y = 82x+y=8
2*2+3=822+3=8
7=87=8
which is false, so (2,3)(2,3) is not a solution to 2x+y=82x+y=8.
