Math Problem Statement

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? [ x+7y=17] Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) Only [(10,1)] A Only [(10,1)] (Choice B) Only [(-4,3)] B Only [(-4,3)] (Choice C) Both [(10,1)] and [(-4,3)] C Both [(10,1)] and [(-4,3)] (Choice D) Neither D Neither

Solution

To determine which ordered pair is a solution to the equation x+7y=17x + 7y = 17, we will substitute the values of xx and yy from each ordered pair into the equation and check whether they satisfy the equation.

1. Check the pair (10,1)(10, 1):

Substitute x=10x = 10 and y=1y = 1 into the equation: 10+7(1)=10+7=1710 + 7(1) = 10 + 7 = 17 Since 10+7=1710 + 7 = 17, the pair (10,1)(10, 1) satisfies the equation.

2. Check the pair (4,3)(-4, 3):

Substitute x=4x = -4 and y=3y = 3 into the equation: 4+7(3)=4+21=17-4 + 7(3) = -4 + 21 = 17 Since 4+21=17-4 + 21 = 17, the pair (4,3)(-4, 3) also satisfies the equation.

Conclusion:

Both pairs (10,1)(10, 1) and (4,3)(-4, 3) satisfy the equation x+7y=17x + 7y = 17. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Choice C: Both (10,1)(10, 1) and (4,3)(-4, 3)
