QuestionFind the values of xx and yy that satisfy the equation 2x+3y=122x + 3y = 12 for the point (3,1)(3,1).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We have a point (3,1)(3,1). We have a linear equation x+3y=12x+3y=12
3. We need to check if the given point lies on the line represented by the equation.

STEP 2

The general form of a linear equation is ax+by=cax+by=c. If a point (x0,y0)(x0, y0) satisfies this equation, then the point lies on the line.
So, we need to substitute x=x= and y=1y=1 into the equation 2x+y=122x+y=12 and check if both sides of the equation are equal.

STEP 3

Substitute x=3x=3 and y=1y=1 into the equation.
2(3)+3(1)=122(3) +3(1) =12

STEP 4

Calculate the left side of the equation.
2(3)+3(1)=6+3=92(3) +3(1) =6 +3 =9

STEP 5

Compare the calculated left side of the equation with the right side.Since 9129 \neq12, the point (3,1)(3,1) does not lie on the line 2x+3y=122x+3y=12.
