Q:

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? X+7y=17 Answer Choices A. Only (10,1)B. Only (-4,3)C. Both (10,1) and (-4,3)

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:C. Both (10,1) and (-4,3)Step-by-step explanation:The equation is x + 7y = 17Option A: x = 10, y = 1Now, putting the value in the equation, L.H.S., x + 7y= 10 + 7*1= 10 + 7= 17Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.The equation is correct.Option B: x = -4, y = 3Now, putting the value in the equation, L.H.S., x + 7y= -4 + 7*3= -4 + 21= 17Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.The equation is also correct with this value.As the option "A" and Option "B" shows the correct value, the answer is both A and B.
