Question

is (-1, 5) a solution to this system of equations? 17x + 5y = 8 14x + 2y = -4 yes no

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x and y values in first equation

Substitute \(x=-1\) and \(y = 5\) into \(17x + 5y\).
\[17\times(-1)+5\times5=-17 + 25=8\]

Step2: Substitute x and y values in second equation

Substitute \(x=-1\) and \(y = 5\) into \(14x+2y\).
\[14\times(-1)+2\times5=-14 + 10=-4\]
Since the point \((-1,5)\) satisfies both equations.

Answer:

yes
