Question
Substitute the $x$ - and $y$ -values indicated by the ordered pair to determine if it solves the system.$$\left\{\begin{array}{l}3 x+7 y=-4 \\7 x+8 y=-21\end{array}\right.$$$$(-6,2)$$
Step 1
The first equation is $3x + 7y = -4$. If we substitute $x = -6$ and $y = 2$, we get $3(-6) + 7(2) = -4$. This simplifies to $-18 + 14 = -4$, which is true. Show more…
