Question

Is `(1/3, -5)` a solution to `-3x-10y=51`?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Let us check out how :-
According to the question if (`1/3`,-5) is a solution for the equation then `x` will be equal to `1/3` and `y` will be equal to -5. If this is really the solution to this equation, then plugging the values of `x` and `y` in L.H.S will give us the value in R.H.S.
L.H.S
-3`x`-10`y`
On plugging in the values
(-3×`1/3`) - 10×-5
-1+50
49
We find that
49≠51
`:.` L.H.S ≠R.H.S
`:.` it is not the solution to this equation.
