Problem: Is this point a solution of the system
The point (17,0) lies on the 8x+11y=136 Determine if this point is a solution of the system
8x+11y=136
0x-y=-8
No, it is not. Think about it. The second equation represents
a horizontal line 8 units above the x-axis. That means that
y is ALWAYS 8. Therefore, any point above or below that line
can never be a solution to this system of equations.
