a​ solution?

Solution

To determine whether the given ordered pair (43,54)\left(\frac{4}{3}, \frac{5}{4}\right) is a solution of the equation 6x4y=36x - 4y = 3, we will substitute x=43x = \frac{4}{3} and y=54y = \frac{5}{4} into the equation and check if it satisfies the equation.

Given equation: 6x4y=36x - 4y = 3

Substitute x=43x = \frac{4}{3} and y=54y = \frac{5}{4} into the equation:

6(43)4(54)=36\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) - 4\left(\frac{5}{4}\right) = 3

Now, calculate each term:

  1. 6×43=2×4=86 \times \frac{4}{3} = 2 \times 4 = 8
  2. 4×54=54 \times \frac{5}{4} = 5

So, the equation becomes:

85=38 - 5 = 3

Since 3=33 = 3, the equation holds true.

Therefore, the ordered pair (43,54)\left(\frac{4}{3}, \frac{5}{4}\right) is a solution to the equation 6x4y=36x - 4y = 3.
