Problem: how to determine whether the point (1,7) is a solution to the system
2x+6y=50
10x+0y=10
There is no need to solve the system of equations to find the
point that satisfies both equations. Just plug the given values
into both equations to see if they are correct.
2x + 6y = 50
2(1) + 6(7) = 50
2 + 42 = 50
44 = 50
We already know that the point is NOT a solution.
