PROBLEM

Check if each pair (x,y)(x, y) is a solution to 7x3y=117x - 3y = 11: (1,6)(-1,-6), (2,7)(-2,7), (5,8)(5,8), (0,4)(0,-4).

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the equation 7x3y=117x -3y =11.
. We need to check if the given ordered pairs are solutions to the equation.

STEP 2

We will check each ordered pair by substituting the values of xx and yy into the equation and seeing if the equation holds true.

STEP 3

First, let's check the ordered pair (1,6)(-1,-6). Substitute x=1x = -1 and y=6y = -6 into the equation.
7x3y=7(1)3(6)7x -3y =7(-1) -3(-6)

STEP 4

Calculate the result.
7x3y=7+18=117x -3y = -7 +18 =11

STEP 5

Since the result is equal to the right side of the equation, the ordered pair (1,)(-1,-) is a solution to the equation.

STEP 6

Next, let's check the ordered pair (2,)(-2,). Substitute x=2x = -2 and y=y = into the equation.
x3y=(2)3()x -3y =(-2) -3()

STEP 7

Calculate the result.
7x3y=1421=357x -3y = -14 -21 = -35

STEP 8

Since the result is not equal to the right side of the equation, the ordered pair (2,7)(-2,7) is not a solution to the equation.

STEP 9

Next, let's check the ordered pair (5,8)(5,8). Substitute x=5x =5 and y=8y =8 into the equation.
7x3y=7(5)3(8)7x -3y =7(5) -3(8)

STEP 10

Calculate the result.
7x3y=3524=7x -3y =35 -24 =

STEP 11

Since the result is equal to the right side of the equation, the ordered pair (5,8)(5,8) is a solution to the equation.

STEP 12

Finally, let's check the ordered pair (0,4)(0,-4). Substitute x=0x =0 and y=4y = -4 into the equation.
7xy=7(0)(4)7x -y =7(0) -(-4)

STEP 13

Calculate the result.
7x3y=0+12=127x -3y =0 +12 =12

SOLUTION

Since the result is not equal to the right side of the equation, the ordered pair (0,4)(0,-4) is not a solution to the equation.
So, the ordered pairs (,6)(-,-6) and (,8)(,8) are solutions to the equation 7x3y=117x -3y =11, while the ordered pairs (2,7)(-2,7) and (0,4)(0,-4) are not.
