Problem

3. Is $(3,-5)$ the solution for the following linear system? Explain how you can tell. \[ \begin{array}{l} 2 x+5 y=-19 \\ 6 y-8 x=54 \end{array} \]

Solution

Step 1 :Given the point (3,-5), we substitute these values into the system of equations.

Step 2 :For the first equation, \(2x + 5y = -19\), substituting x = 3 and y = -5, we get \(2*3 + 5*(-5) = -19\), which is true.

Step 3 :For the second equation, \(6y - 8x = 54\), substituting x = 3 and y = -5, we get \(6*(-5) - 8*3 = -54\), which is not equal to 54.

Step 4 :Since the point (3,-5) does not satisfy both equations, it is not a solution to the system of equations.

Step 5 :\(\boxed{\text{No, (3,-5) is not a solution to the system of equations.}}\)
