y =-4x – 5y = 3x- 2Is (3,7) a solution of the system?Choose 1 answer:YesNo

To be a solution of the system, it has to be true in both equations.
As the coordinate is (x,y), then we have to replace 3 in every x in the equations and 7 in every y in the equations.
• Equation 1
[tex]y=-4x-5[/tex][tex]7=-4\cdot3-5[/tex][tex]7=-12-5[/tex][tex]7=-17[/tex]As this is NOT TRUE, then it is not a solution for this equation, and as we are looking for a solution for the system of equations, then this is not a solution.
Answer: B. No
