y = -5x + 1\ny = 3x - 2\nis (3, 8) a solution of the system?\nchoose 1 answer:\na yes\nb no

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x = 3 into first - equation

Substitute (x = 3) into (y=-5x + 1). Then (y=-5\times3 + 1=-15 + 1=-14).

Step2: Substitute x = 3 into second - equation

Substitute (x = 3) into (y = 3x-2). Then (y=3\times3-2=9 - 2 = 7).

Step3: Check the given point

The given point is ((3,8)). But when (x = 3), the (y) - values from the two equations are not 8.

Answer:

B. No
